N23 Road (Belgium)
The N23 is a short national highway in the Brussels Capital Region, Belgium. It is one of the busiest roads within the capital with daily gridlock during the rush hours. The road consists originally of two separate sections that were once part of the European Route 5 (E5, now E40) through Brussels, separated by the small ring (N0/R20). It is the only highway in Belgium with two kilometer-zero points, one for the eastern branch and another for the western branch. As with all national roads and motorways, ownership was transferred to the regional government in the 1990s. The N23 road remains unsigned as signage within Brussels never shows any road numbers. N23 East The eastern branch has two separate roadways for each direction. The eastbound section begins at the Arts-Loi/Kunst-Wet intersection of the small ring and the N3 road, briefly following Boulevard du Regent/Regentlaan before travelling eastwards on Rue Belliard/Belliardstraat for about one kilometer.

European Route E40
European route E40 is the longest European route, more than long, connecting Calais in France via Belgium, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, with Ridder in Kazakhstan near the border with Russia and China. A different route connecting Calais and Ridder is about shorter, mostly using the E30 via Berlin-Moscow-Omsk. The E40 differs from that route in order to provide additional direct east-west access to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, which have a combined population base approaching 50 million people as of 2021.

Small Ring (Brussels)
The Small Ring (french: Petite Ceinture, nl, Kleine Ring) inner ring road, formally R20 and N0 is a series of roadways in central Brussels, Belgium, surrounding the historic city centre. The city centre is usually defined as the area within the Small Ring; this area is called the Pentagon due to its pentagonal shape. The pentagon forms the core of the City of Brussels municipality. The road was built on the site of the 14th-century second walls of Brussels, after they had been torn down. During the second stage of the covering of the Senne in the 20th century, the river was diverted to underneath the western boulevards of the ring. This freed up the main tunnels that had contained the water to allow construction of the Brussels premetro with minimal disruption of the surface. The Small Ring is about 8 km long. It is surrounded by the Greater Ring, which runs about 30 km and by the Ring (about 80 km). The road passes through tunnels allowing vehicles to avoi ...

Leopold Quarter
The Leopold Quarter (french: Quartier Léopold, Dutch: ) is a quarter of Brussels, Belgium.
