On-street parking in Wépion: zone colors, time windows and limits

In Wépion (Namur), you’ll see different zone colors on the signs. The rules depend on the zone, and most are enforced Monday to Saturday.

• Zone mauve horodateur (96 spots): Mon–Sat 7:30–18:00. Max 30 min twice per day (leave at least 1 hour between the two periods). Free, but a €40/day flat charge applies if you don’t follow the rules.
• Zone red horodateur (1830 spots): Mon–Sat 9:00–17:00. Max 3 hours. Rates: €1/hour (up to €6 for 3 hours). €40/day flat charge if you overstay/forget to comply. 30 minutes free with a ticket.
• Zone green horodateur (68 spots): Mon–Sat 9:00–17:00. Max 4 hours. Rates: €0.75/hour (up to €3 for 4 hours). €40/day flat charge if you don’t comply. 30 minutes free with a ticket.
• Zone blue: Mon–Sat 9:00–17:00. Max 3 hours. Free if you place a parking disc behind the windshield. Otherwise, €22/day flat charge. Always follow the signage (street list can differ).

Forgetting the on-street instructions can trigger a flat daily tariff (up to €40/day in the red/green/mauve zones).

How to pay in Namur streets (meter, SMS, and parking apps)

For on-street parking in Wépion, you must either feed the meter/horodateur or use the available digital options (apps or SMS) shown for Namur. Paying correctly helps you avoid the flat-day charge if you forget to start or extend your session.

• Quick tip: the first 30 minutes are free if you take a ticket via the horodateur or via the active payment apps.
• Payment options (examples used in Namur):
  • Yellowbrick: €0.35 per session (app)
  • 4411 (SMS): €0.15 per SMS sent/received to start or stop a session (or €0.35 per session in the app)
  • Seety: €0.29 per session (app)
  • Easypark: 15% or €1.99/month
  • Xparc: €0 per session

If you have a PMR card, free parking rules also apply via the apps/SMS or by using the correct manual process at the horodateur.

Where to park for longer stays: P+R and multi-storey car parks

If your trip requires more than a couple of hours, switching from street zones to a P+R (park-and-ride) or a multi-storey car park can be less stressful—especially during peak periods. Namur recommends P+R options at the edges of the centre connected by bus:

• P+R Bouge (longer stays)
• P+R St Nicolas (longer stays)
• P+R Namur Expo (for a half-day/medium duration)

For shorter-to-medium visits, Namur also lists several car parks in the central areas (for example, Parking Hôtel de Ville, Parking Confluence, Parking Beffroi, and Parking de la Gare).

Special limits near Namur Expo (when crowds are expected)

Some areas have stricter rules during busy periods. Around Namur Expo, the parking duration is limited to 3 hours using the parking disc, Monday to Sunday (including public holidays), except for residents.

In the rest of the street network, on-street parking is free on Sundays and public holidays, but the Expo restriction can still affect your choice. If you want a more predictable option when demand spikes, you can check Mobypark for future availability for Wépion—right now there are no bookable spaces listed for this area.

Quick checklist before you park

• Match the zone color on the sign (mauve/red/green/blue) and follow the stated hours.
• Set a timer for the maximum duration (especially red/green/blue).
• Pay or validate correctly (meter ticket, SMS, or app). Don’t rely on “I’ll come back later”.
• If you think you’ll exceed the limit, switch to a P+R or a car park instead of risking the flat daily charge.
