Saturday. Day off. Rest for us, of work, and rest for cars that yes or yes they have to stay at home with today does not circulate sabbatino. As? Yes, because if you still don’t know, there are some cars that have to stay at home, yes or yes, if you don’t want to receive a fine.
What we are talking about is of the program today does not circulate, devised by the Ministry of Environment of the CDMX (Sedema) with the aim of improving the air we breathe.
To achieve this, the plan is very simple: we have to leave cars at home. At least those that are more polluting. Therefore, there are restrictions that do not allow us to enjoy our car on Saturday. Restrictions, yes, that only apply in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico:
- Atizapán de Zaragoza
- Coacalco de Berriozábal
- Cuautitlán
- Cuautitlán Izcalli
- Chalco
- Chicoloapan
- Chimalhuacán
- Ecatepec de Morelos
- Huixquilucan
- Ixtapaluca
- La Paz
- Naucalpan de Juárez
- Nezahualcóyotl
- Nicolás Romero
- Tecámac
- Tlalnepantla de Baz
- Tultitlán
- Chalco Valley


What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today
But, once we are clear about the most basic, who have to stay at home? Very simple, restrictions as you can see in the image superior are applied every day. But not every day the same cars are affected.
That is complicated on Saturdays since it is not always the same cars that are forced to rest. Some of them, in fact, may not move any Saturday but others can only do so one yes and another not in alternate weeks.
Because, indeed, one day as the following conditions can be applied today.
- Cars that can circulate every Saturday
- Cars that have to rest every Saturday
- Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+
These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines.
Once we have all this clear … What should we take into account? First of all, the Sabatino does not circulate today does not always apply to the same cars, as we said. To be clear about everything, you have to look at the calendar first, then the hologram and, finally, the plate number.
We say about the calendar because on Saturdays, which occupy us, they are special. Cars with hologram 2 cannot move any Saturday of the current month. On the contrary, Hologram 0 and 00 can move without problems. In that case there is total freedom.
So what happens to the hologram 1? These cars rotate depending on the latest issue of their registration plate. In this case, such as Saturday July 26, 2025 We are facing the fourth Saturday of the month of July will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those that cannot move.
Taking all this into account, what to take into account when it comes to circulating? The first thing is that today does not circulate Sabatino does not always apply to all cars. It is mandatory to look at the calendar, the hologram and, finally, the plate number. In that order.
However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom:
- Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid
- Those who have disabled plate
- All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals)
- Those who offer school or passenger transport
- Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection
In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.
