Parking Station Roux, Charleroi

Parking Station Roux: your starting point (NMBS car park)

If you’re looking for parking Station Roux, the most straightforward option is the NMBS car park linked to the station facilities. It’s located at Rue Foulon 8, 6044 Roux and is designed for drivers arriving by car before continuing by train.

For longer stays, the NMBS car park works on a ticket-at-entry basis: you can park for multiple days and the parking ticket is valid for up to 3 weeks. After you’ve paid, you have 15 minutes to leave the car park—so plan to finalise payment before you’re ready to drive off.

Payment is handled at the machines: they accept common cards including Bancontact, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and Visa Electron. Cash/coins aren’t usable at the ticket machines.

Parking on the road near Station Roux (blue/yellow zone rules)

If the station car park is full, the next thing to check is the on-street parking near Rue Foulon. In many Belgian town areas this is controlled by parking zones indicated by signs (for example blue or yellow zones), each with different maximum stays and time/day conditions.

Where a blue zone applies, you generally need a parking disc and the maximum duration is often around 2 hours, unless the signposted text states otherwise. Because the exact rules can vary by road segment, always follow the sign at the point you actually park.

If you’re expecting to be beyond the time limit for on-street parking, you can check Mobypark for future availability rather than risking an overstay and a penalty.

How to avoid tickets: set the disc correctly and respect the “max duration”

To minimise the risk of fines near Station Roux, treat signage as the authority:

• Read the sign for the specific maximum duration and the days/times it applies.
• If a disc is required, set the correct arrival time—don’t rely on memory.
• Don’t assume “a bit longer” is allowed: time limits can change by zone.
• For the NMBS car park, remember the 15-minute exit window after payment.

Backup plan if you can’t get a space

On busy travel days, arrive early and be ready to switch between options: NMBS car park first, then on-street parking only if you can comply with the zone rules.

If you’d prefer a more predictable alternative for your dates, check Mobypark for future availability. Even when it isn’t bookable for the moment, it’s worth monitoring in case spaces open up.
