Finding parking near Messelbroek, Aarschot

Parking Messelbroek: follow the street signs (blue zone rules apply in the municipality)

If you’re looking for parking Messelbroek, start by checking the markings at the exact spot you plan to use. In Scherpenheuvel-Zichem, many central streets use a blue zone where a parking disc and a strict time limit apply. If your street is signed as a blue zone, you must follow that rule even when you’re parking in smaller areas like Messelbroek.

If you want to reduce searching time, it can also be worth checking Mobypark for future availability in the Messelbroek area, then plan your backup using the public rules below.

Blue zone (Parking disc + max 2 hours, Mon–Sat 09:00–18:00)

A blue zone typically requires a parking disc from Monday to Saturday, 09:00–18:00 (unless a sign states otherwise). The maximum parking duration in the blue zone is 2 hours, set according to your arrival time on the disc.

  • Common blue-zone areas in the municipality include roads around the town centre such as Noordervest, Zuidervest, Basilieklaan, Kloosterstraat, Elenstraat, Cobergerstraat, and squares like Isabellaplein/Albertusplein.
  • Always rely on the sign at the curb—blue zones are not universal on every street.

Where to park with fewer time constraints (free edge parking near the basilica)

When the centre is busy, look for randparkings (edge parking) intended to keep the busiest streets clearer for short stays. Around the basilica area, Parking Mariahal (Spordel 3) is indicated as a free option for longer parking.

Note: some nearby facilities can still be within a blue zone. For example, Parking Boemelke at Basilieklaan is associated with blue-zone rules, so check the exact parking sign or zone marking before you set your disc.

Enforcement, fines, and peak-time pressure (Saturday market)

Blue-zone enforcement is carried out by Moovia. If you forget the parking disc or exceed the time limit, the retribution is €30.

Also plan for market day pressure: there is a market every Saturday afternoon in the centre on Noordervest and Zuidervest. If you’re arriving around that window, prefer edge parking (like Mariahal) and give yourself extra time.

In Scherpenheuvel-Zichem, blue zones require a parking disc from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 and 18:00 (unless the sign says otherwise).

Where can I park for free near the basilica when visiting the area?

Is there special resident parking for blue zones (parking card)?
Residents and businesses in certain blue-zone areas may be able to apply for a resident parking card, but it does not cover every location. Some blue-zone areas (such as specific parkings/locations near the town hall and selected streets/squares) are excluded—so you should confirm eligibility based on the exact parking zone where you want to park.
