Saturday, August 23: Day to rest. Especially if your vehicle is subject to the restrictions of the program Hoy does not circulate Sabatino. And, as you know, some cars must remain stored at home during this day.
This program, promoted by the Ministry of Environment of the CDMX (Sedema), has as its main objective reduce pollutant emissions improving the quality of the air we breathe.
The mechanics is simple: some vehicles, mainly those that generate the greatest pollution, must limit their circulation, but do not always apply to the same cars every Saturday. In areas where this measure exists, some cars must rest alternately.
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
- cover of Baz
- Tultitlán
- Chalco Valley
What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today
Who are obliged to stay at home? The daily dynamics of the program is easy to understand, as can be seen in the explanatory graph, but on Saturdays it changes and not all cars have the same restrictions every week. Some vehicles can circulate without restrictions certain Saturdays, while other weeks face limitations.
The categories for this day can be divided into:
- Cars that can circulate every Saturday
- Cars that have to rest every Saturday
- Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another
These restrictions govern only among the 05:00 and 22:00 hours. During the night the limitation is eliminated, allowing circulation without a risk of fine. In addition to knowing the essentials, it is important to highlight that the application of the program is not constant for all cars. Therefore, before leaving, it is important to verify three aspects: the calendar of the month, the type of hologram that the vehicle and the last digit of its plate has.
For example, vehicles with hologram 2 have active restriction every Saturday, while those who have holograms 0 and 00 can circulate without restrictions every week. Those who have hologram 1 have alternate restrictions week by week.
He Saturday 23 August 2025which corresponds to the fourth Saturday of the month (torque), those cars with plates finished in even number must rest. The following week, corresponding to the fifth Saturday (odd number), the restriction will affect cars with plates that end in odd number.
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
Those who fail to comply with fines that range between 20 and 30 times the unit of measure and update (UMA), which is equivalent to an economic sanction of between 1,924.40 and 2,886.60 pesos.
