According to the annual Traffic Scorecard report from the American company Inrix, a provider of real-time traffic services, "Belgian motorists spent an average of 21 hours in traffic jams in 2016" while those driving in and around Brussels lost 41 hours.

"The consequences are known: stress that can lead to burn-out, pollution and degradation of air quality in cities, loss of competitiveness for companies", lists Febiac, regretting that faced with this assessment deemed "disastrous" , the motorbike and the scooter are "rarely presented as part of the solution".

In the short term, the motorized two-wheeler saves time, however, as shown by a real-time test carried out in March 2017 between Herent (Louvain) and Woluwe-Saint-Lambert (Brussels) putting three means of travel in competition. : car, public transport and scooter. The result is clear, the scooter comes first with 20 minutes ahead of the car and almost an hour on public transport !

And if this proportion rose to 25%, the traffic jam lines could disappear entirely !
