What are the truck parking options on the E40?
The renewed motorway parking at Jabbeke, on the E40 towards Ostend, opened in February 2024, VRT NWS reported on 2024-02-08 . The report said trucks staying longer than 1 hour must pay and that a scanner counts electronic devices to deter transmigrants. The roads agency Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer manages the site.
The Flemish plan names Affligem on the E40 as a new rest area. The New Mobility report counts 2,886 Flemish motorway truck spaces, 266 more than five years earlier, and Minister Annick De Ridder wants 500 to 800 more over ten years. Our guide to Belgium truck driving ban times shows when you will need a space.
Is it safe to park a truck in Belgium?
We found no current, dated theft statistics for Belgian truck parkings. So we quote none. New Mobility reports that in January 2026 a car crashed into a truck parked illegally along the E19 at Sint-Job-in-'t-Goor, and a report said the nearby parking was full. Keep a fallback site in mind when your first choice may be full.
Regular weekly rest may not be taken in the vehicle under Regulation (EC) 561/2006, article 8(8). Our guide to the safest truck parking in Europe can help you choose a site for it.
