What cars can circulate and which ones rest on September 13

It’s here, it is already. Yes, the Sabatino does not circulate today returns through his fueros. As every Saturday, drivers affected by these restrictions collected in the program designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with the aim of improving the air we breathe.

The restrictions go, indeed, to reduce the number of cars in the streets. How could it be otherwise, that forces cars at home. Restrictions that, as you know, 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

Taking this into account, how can we avoid an irregularly circular pore? Obviously, the most important thing is to know well the restrictions that apply. Restrictions you will find in the superior image.

All those days have a particularity. The rules are clear but on Saturdays they change slightly. And it is not always the same drivers who have to leave their cars at home.

In short, on a Saturday the following conditions can be applied.

• 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 clarified all these concepts, what else do we have to take into account? The first thing is that today does not circulate Sabatino does not always apply the same. You have to take into account the calendar because on Saturdays do not always stay at home the same cars. It will be the plate number that defines it.

Hologram 2 cars do have the obligation to rest. But, for example, hologram cars 0 and 00 never have to rest. The latter can circulate with total freedom because they are the cars that least contaminate.

But what happens to hologram 1? On a Saturday like this, September 13, 2025it will be the cars with hologram 1 and plate finished in even number that remain at home. Because this Saturday is the second Saturday of September and, therefore, it coincides with “par”. Next week, the odd ones will go around and rest.

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 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.
