Mexico City vehicle restrictions for Saturday, June 20: check plates and holograms

Mexico City residents must adhere to the "Hoy No Circula" (Today You Don't Drive) program on Saturday, June 20, which partially restricts vehicle circulation. The program targets vehicles based on their license plate's final digit and the type of hologram sticker they display.

Specifically, on this Saturday, vehicles with even-numbered license plates, along with those bearing hologram 1 (with odd endings), all hologram 2 vehicles, and out-of-state vehicles are subject to circulation limits. Exempt from these restrictions are vehicles with hologram endings of 00 and 0, as well as electric and hybrid cars.

The environmental commission of the Megalopolis (CAME) enforces these restrictions daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. For out-of-state vehicles, the restrictions apply from 5:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The program's primary objective is to reduce atmospheric pollution by removing a significant portion of vehicles from the road.

According to analyses of the program, the Saturday "Hoy No Circula" aims to take around 350,000 vehicles out of circulation each weekend. This measure is expected to reduce carbon monoxide emissions by approximately 818 tons every Saturday. The program's design considers vehicle emissions, age, and type, assigning hologram classifications through mandatory vehicle verification checks.
