Is it southern too to pronounce the r's like [ʀ]?

Sorry, what you wrote is just too much of a generalization.
Verhoeven (2005) writes that:
"The phonological system of Belgian Dutch has free variation between an alveolar and uvular trill. The alveolar trill is most frequent and geographically most widely distributed. The uvular trill is regionally confined to the cities of Ghent and Brussels and the province of Limburg, but estimates suggest that it is gaining fast in popularity (Van Reenen 1994)."

Sorry, I'm either blind or this completely contradicts what you wrote before:
Verhoeven, on the other hand, says it's neither, because both alveolar and uvular /r/ are standard.
Do you have an access to a reliable source that would contradict that?
