The Rue Belliard (French) or Belliardstraat (Dutch) is a major street in the European Quarter of Brussels, Belgium, running parallel to the Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat. Both are one-way streets; where traffic in the Rue de la Loi runs in the western direction towards Brussels' city centre, the Rue Belliard runs in the eastern direction, away from the city centre.
The street runs from the east of the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road) to the south-western corner of the Parc du Cinquantenaire/Jubelpark. The street has four lanes from the Small Ring to the start of the Belliard tunnel, two lanes along Leopold Park and ends on one lane up to the Cinquantenaire. The section on one lane from one park to the other is partly in the territory of the municipality of Etterbeek. The rest of the street is in the territory of the City of Brussels.
The Rue Belliard is named after Augustin Daniel Belliard, a French general who was governor of the department of the Dyle.[1]
