List of national roads in Belgium

Another example is around Brussels, where the N2 is known as the "Road to Leuven" ("Chaussée de Louvain" in French, "Leuvensesteenweg" in Dutch).

The first network consists of national roads, each starting from the capital Brussels and forming a clockwise star.

The second network groups the national roads that are linked to major cities and towns of Belgium, excluding Brussels.

†Due to linguistic differences, the national road N58 took more than twenty years to build.

It does not actually run from Dottignies to Armentières as anticipated because the road is split into two sections: the first stretches from Armentières in France up to Menen where it joins onto the A19 motorway; the other part starts in the village of Dronkaard to the southeast of Menen, and ends in the village of Dottignies.
