What cars can circulate and which ones rest on August 2

Saturday. August 2, specifically. Moment to rest … especially if you are a car that is part of the restrictions of today does not circulate Sabatino. Because, indeed, today some cars will have to stay at home.

What we are talking about is the program today does not circulate, that designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) that forces to leave some cars at home with the idea of improving the quality of the air we breathe. With him, polluting emissions should go down.

The system is simple: some cars, especially the most pollutants, have to stay at home. For them there are restrictions but the same Saturdays do not always stay at home. And, where it applies, some cars have to rest.

And where is it applied?

Specifically 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

Taking all this into account, who should stay at home? Daily, restrictions are simple to understand, you can clarify all the details in the superior image. But not every Saturday, for example, they have to stay home on Saturdays.

And some of them can move with total freedom but others have more problems. Which is it? Specifically, those who have total freedom and other weeks cannot move. Because, indeed, there are restrictions that alternate week by week.

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.

Clarified all this, should we take something more into account? Yes, as we told you, the Sabatino does not circulate today has the peculiarity that it does not always apply in the same way. Therefore, it does not always affect the cars themselves.

First you have to look at the calendar (then we will see why it is important), then the hologram and, finally, the plate number. This is because Saturday is a special day in the program of today does not circulate Sabatino. It does not always affect the same cars in the same way.

Those of Hologram 2, for example, cannot circulate any Saturday but those of Hologram 0 and 00 can do it every week. In that case, they have total freedom. And those of Hologram 1? Here is the crumb because a few weeks can move and others do not. In this case, the Saturday, August 2, 2025are obliged to rest those that the registration ends in odd number.

This is because we are on the first Saturday of August and, therefore, it is these cars that must stay at home. Next week, the second week (PAR) will affect cars with a plate finished in torque. Of course, do not forget that there are some exceptions that allow some cars to move with total freedom. Are the following:

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.
