Rest days arrive a week. “For some more than for others,” those affected by today do not circulate sabbatino today. Because, indeed, affected cars have to rest and that means that they cannot move from home.

Why does this happen? Because it applies today does not circulate, the program designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) For the improvement of the air quality we breathe. A project that prevents some cars from moving with ease where it applies.

Less cars, less pollution. It is a simple formula that has its implications in the atmosphere. Therefore, although painful, it is a measure that is applied 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

If we observe the superior image you can easily check what the restrictions that are applied. But what happens to Saturdays? Which is a bit more complicated because not always the restrictions touch them.

That is because the car hologram marks the restrictions of each day but on Saturday there are special standards. Because, in this case, it will depend on the plate number as well. And, however, not all holograms always rest …

To order all this mess, the easiest thing is to think that there are three types of cars:

Cars that can circulate every Saturday
Cars that have to rest every Saturday
Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another

Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction.

With all this clear, what can we do if we are affected by today does not circulate sabbatino? In principle, be clear when we have to stay at home. For that, the following must be taken into account.

Cars with Hologram 2 rest every Saturday. None of them can circulate. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 have no problem. These cars can move with total freedom.

The “problem” comes with those of Hologram 1. In this case it depends on the plate number. Every week is broken. In this case, the Saturday April 12, 2025as we are on the second Saturday of the month of April touches the cars with a plate finished in number to stay at home.

Despite this, 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

Contamination is not only making you live less and worse. You are also making you darker

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.
