The vehicle circulation restriction 'Hoy No Circula' is in effect in the 16 boroughs of Mexico City and 18 neighboring municipalities of the State of Mexico. This measure aims to reduce air pollution and improve the environmental quality in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area. The restriction is in force from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The only exception are cars with holograms 00 and 0, which may circulate all week. How does 'Hoy No Circula' work? The weekly calendar organizes vehicle circulation based on the color of the sticker and the last digit of the license plate. This activation occurs when ozone levels exceed 150 points. A 'Double Hoy No Circula' is automatically implemented, doubling the number of vehicles that must remain off the road, including some with hologram 0. In which municipalities of the State of Mexico is 'Hoy No Circula' applied? The restriction covers the following municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza, Coacalco de Berriozábal, Cuautitlán, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Chalco, Chicoloapan, and Chimalhuacán. The measure also applies to Ecatepec, Huixquilucan, Ixtapaluca, La Paz, Naucalpan de Juárez, Nezahualcóyotl, and Nicolás Romero. To round out the week, on Mondays, vehicles with a yellow sticker and license plate endings 5 or 6 are restricted from circulating. On Sundays, all vehicles are free to circulate, unless an extraordinary environmental contingency is declared. When air quality drops to concerning levels, CAMe implements additional restrictions to protect public health.
