All For Zero: 'Mobility for Dummies' video series

Clear, to the point and always with a nod to human-sized streets. Don't miss a single episode of our 'Mobility for Dummies' film series!
We explain it for you!
Everyone has an opinion about mobility... It is a popular topic of conversation at the kitchen table, at school and at work. To have a smooth conversation, and to distinguish fact from fiction, it is important to have a good understanding of common mobility concepts. In 'Mobility for Dummies', our traffic specialist Glenn explains everything clearly and simply. So you will soon have all the knowledge you need to take part in discussions about mobility and to help build more human-sized streets.
A cut, what is that?
Cutting a street? Sounds difficult ... But how do you do it and what is it good for? We explain in 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
Traffic, what is it?
Where does the word 'traffic' actually come from? And what does our traffic have to do with the verb 'to be'? We explain in 1 minute and 21 seconds.
Sneak traffic, what is it?
That you'd rather not have it on your street, you know. But what exactly is 'sneak traffic'? We explain it in 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
Road categorisation, what is it?
In any case, it is a dragon of a word. But it plays an important role in how our traffic is controlled. We explain the principle in 2 minutes and 21 seconds.

Is it a street only for cyclists? Or can other traffic also pass through a bicycle street? We explain in 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
A school street, what is that?
Another street with a separate statute. What the advantages are as well as what is allowed and required, we explain in 2 minutes and 21 seconds.

Parking is about much more than simply finding a place for your car. We explain why parking policy is so important in 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
All For Zero
The 'Mobility for Dummies' film series is part of the initiative All For Zero. With this initiative, the various authorities in Belgium want to reduce the number of road deaths in our country to zero. And that by 2050. An ambitious goal, which we can only achieve by working together. All 4 Zero actively involves citizens in improving road safety and encourages local initiatives to make their own street, neighbourhood or municipality safer. This is precisely why it is so important for everyone to have a say in mobility. And that is where our 'Mobility for Dummies' series contributes.
With the support of Federal Minister for Mobility Georges Gilkinet, the FPS Mobility and Transport and Vias Institute.
