The Hoy no Circula program has begun its operation in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico, with specific restrictions for vehicles in 18 municipalities of the State of Mexico and in all boroughs of Mexico City. This measure aims to reduce the emission of pollutants caused by circulating vehicles.
In Mexico City, the restriction applies to cars with yellow stickers and whose plates end in the numbers 5 or 6, prohibiting them from circulating from 05:00 to 22:00 hours. In the State of Mexico, the regulation applies in some selected municipalities. Ignoring these limitations may result in significant fines and even the towing of the vehicle to the impound lot.
The penalties for those who violate the Hoy no Circula program in Mexico City range from two thousand 262 to three thousand 394 pesos, plus the additional cost for towing the vehicle. It is important to keep these restrictions in mind to avoid economic and legal consequences.
Apart from cars with yellow stickers and plates ending in 5 or 6, there are also restrictions for other vehicles according to their hologram and plate number. The program establishes specific days on which they cannot circulate, in order to reduce environmental pollution. It is essential that drivers are aware of these regulations to avoid penalties.
Among the vehicles exempt from these restrictions are agricultural tractors, emergency units, electric vehicles, school transport vehicles, among others. It is crucial to know and respect the regulations to contribute to the improvement of air quality in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico.
