Drivers beware: Vehicle restriction by plate number returns on this date

Drivers in San José, Costa Rica, should prepare for the return of vehicle restriction measures based on license plate numbers, as the suspension during school holidays concludes. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MOPT) has announced the reinstatement of this traffic regulation, which aims to alleviate congestion in the capital city.

The restriction will be implemented daily, operating from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The initial phase will target vehicles with license plates ending in the digits 1 and 2. This phased approach allows drivers to adjust to the renewed regulations before the full schedule encompasses all plate numbers.

This measure is a familiar one for San José residents, often employed during peak traffic periods or following extended holiday breaks. Its reintroduction signifies a return to normal traffic management protocols following the recent school vacation period. Drivers are advised to consult the specific schedule and plate number assignments to ensure compliance and avoid potential penalties.
