Finding parking near Oostakker, Ghent

If you’re looking for parking Oostakker, the most practical starting points are the public Park & Ride at Oostakker and the on-street parking zones in Gent. Mobypark currently has no bookable spots for Oostakker, but you can still check Mobypark for any future availability while you plan your public parking option.

Park & Ride Oostakker (Antwerpsesteenweg, by Carrefour) for free parking

P+R Oostakker is a Park & Ride spot designed for drivers who want an easier start to their trip into Gent. It offers free parking with about 199–200 places and it’s outside the low-emission zone (LEZ). It’s located along the Antwerpsesteenweg near Carrefour.

For your approach, you can reach it via R4 exit 3 Oostakker and then follow N70 (Antwerpsesteenweg) toward Gent. When you’re done parking, you can continue by bus or by bike—bus routes servicing the P+R include lines such as 77 and 78.

Because capacity is limited, it can fill up on busy days. Before you commit, check the city’s live parking information for P+R availability; and if you find it full, drivers sometimes check Mobypark to see whether any private spots appear later (availability can change).

On-street parking in Gent: zone hours (red, orange, yellow, green)

When you park on public streets around Gent (including when you drive in from Oostakker), the rules depend on the parking zone color and the exact signs on the street. Zone time windows are summarized by the city, and they’re also detailed by zone on the city’s map.

Zone Paid hours Free hours / notes
Red 9:00–23:00 Free 23:00–9:00 + Sundays/holidays; max 3 hours between 9:00–19:00
Orange 9:00–23:00 Free 23:00–9:00 + Sundays/holidays; max 5 hours between 9:00–19:00
Yellow 9:00–19:00 Free 19:00–9:00 + Sundays/holidays; max 5 hours between 9:00–19:00
Green 9:00–19:00 Free 19:00–9:00 + Sundays/holidays

Because this parking is time-limited (and the allowed maximum duration changes by zone), it helps to decide how long you’ll be parked before you start counting minutes. If you want to avoid managing zone limits on-street, you can compare options by checking Mobypark for any future availability—especially when street parking looks tight.

LEZ reminder: use P+R Oostakker if your destination is inside Gent’s LEZ

Gent applies a low-emission zone (LEZ) for the inner area (inside the ring). P+R Oostakker is outside the LEZ, which makes it a practical base if you’re aiming to reach the center without having to deal with parking inside the LEZ area.

If you still plan to park closer to the LEZ area on-street, you’ll be dealing with the zone system and its hour limits—so double-check the street signs and be careful with maximum stay durations.

Quick checks before you park

  • Follow the street signs first: city zone maps are informative, but the signage on the road always takes priority.
  • Check live availability for P+R Oostakker before you arrive—on busy days, free capacity can be limited.
  • If public options look full, keep a backup plan by checking Mobypark for any later availability at this location (right now there are no bookable spots).

Does the low-emission zone (LEZ) affect parking if I use P+R Oostakker?

Yes. In a blue zone, paid parking is not used, but you typically have a maximum 2 hours with a parking disc during the daytime period (9:00–18:00 unless signage shows otherwise). After that time (18:00–9:00) and on Sundays/holidays, parking is unlimited as stated for the zone.
