It also affects surrounding municipalities in the State of Mexico. Here is a list of the municipalities where the program is enforced:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atizap\u00e1n de Zaragoza<\/li>\n<li>Coacalco de Berrioz\u00e1bal<\/li>\n<li>Cuautitl\u00e1n<\/li>\n<li>Cuautitl\u00e1n Izcalli<\/li>\n<li>Chalco<\/li>\n<li>Chicoloapan<\/li>\n<li>Chimalhuac\u00e1n<\/li>\n<li>Ecatepec de Morelos<\/li>\n<li>Huixquilucan<\/li>\n<li>Ixtapaluca<\/li>\n<li>La Paz<\/li>\n<li>Naucalpan de Ju\u00e1rez<\/li>\n<li>Nezahualc\u00f3yotl<\/li>\n<li>Nicol\u00e1s Romero<\/li>\n<li>Tec\u00e1mac<\/li>\n<li>Tlalnepantla de Baz<\/li>\n<li>Tultitl\u00e1n<\/li>\n<li>Valle de Chalco<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Understanding Vehicle Restrictions<\/h2>\n<p>Vehicles are affected by this regulation in various ways, depending on their \u00a0hologram\u00a0 classification and the last digit of their license plate. Here\u2019s how the restrictions are applied on Saturdays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Cars that can circulate\u00a0: Generally, those with Hologram 0 and 00 are allowed every Saturday.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Cars that cannot circulate\u00a0: Hologram 2 vehicles must remain off the road on Saturdays.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Rotating restrictions\u00a0: Hologram 1 vehicles can only circulate based on the month and Saturday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The restrictions are effective between \u00a05:00 AM and 10:00 PM\u00a0. After 10 PM, all vehicles can operate without restriction, allowing for some flexibility in evening travel plans.<\/p>\n<h2>Exceptions to the Rule<\/h2>\n<p>While many vehicles are subject to the \u00a0Hoy No Circula\u00a0 restrictions, there are \u00a0exemptions\u00a0 that apply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electric or hybrid vehicles, and those running on natural gas.<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles with a special disability plate.<\/li>\n<li>Public transport vehicles, including those for funerals.<\/li>\n<li>School and passenger transport services.<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles used for public safety and civil protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Compliance and Penalties<\/h2>\n<p>Failing to comply with the \u00a0Hoy No Circula\u00a0 regulations can result in significant penalties. Violators may face fines ranging from \u00a020 to 30 times the Unidad de Medida y Actualizaci\u00f3n (UMA)\u00a0, which translates to approximately \u00a01,924.40 to 2,886.60 pesos\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>As Mexicans gear up for their weekend plans, understanding the rules surrounding the \u00a0Hoy No Circula\u00a0 program is crucial for a hassle-free Saturday. Being informed helps in navigating the roads safely and responsibly, while also contributing to a cleaner environment.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Indeed, you have already lifted the immediate joy of remembering that it is Saturday has accompanied the bittersweet feeling of another memory: that of today does not circulate Sabatino.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 1 --> <\/p>\n<p>And, as you know well, on Saturdays there are specific circulatory restrictions for today, that program designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (<a rel=\"noopener, noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/sedema.cdmx.gob.mx\/programas\/programa\/hoy-no-circula\" data-id=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sedema<\/a>) with the aim of improving the air we breathe.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 2 --><\/p>\n<p>These restrictions pass, irremediably, for leaving at home those cars that are affected by them. Restrictions, of course, that only apply in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico:<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 -->  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atizap\u00e1n de Zaragoza<\/li>\n<li>Coacalco de Berrioz\u00e1bal<\/li>\n<li>Cuautitl\u00e1n<\/li>\n<li>Cuautitl\u00e1n Izcalli<\/li>\n<li>Chalco<\/li>\n<li>Chicoloapan<\/li>\n<li>Chimalhuac\u00e1n<\/li>\n<li>Ecatepec de Morelos<\/li>\n<li>Huixquilucan<\/li>\n<li>Ixtapaluca<\/li>\n<li>La Paz<\/li>\n<li>Naucalpan de Ju\u00e1rez<\/li>\n<li>Nezahualc\u00f3yotl<\/li>\n<li>Nicol\u00e1s Romero<\/li>\n<li>Tec\u00e1mac<\/li>\n<li>Tlalnepantla de Baz<\/li>\n<li>Tultitl\u00e1n<\/li>\n<li>Chalco Valley<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"article-asset-image article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"asset-content\">\n <img class=\"centro_sinmarco\" height=\"1366\" width=\"1366\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  fetchpriority=\"high\"  src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Which-cars-are-allowed-to-drive-and-which-ones-are.jpeg\" alt=\"HNC\"\/><br \/>\n   <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"HNC\" class=\"centro_sinmarco\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Which-cars-are-allowed-to-drive-and-which-ones-are.jpeg\"\/>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today<\/h2>\n<p>Once we know the most basic, what restrictions should we take into account? First that these restrictions apply, yes or yes, every day as you can see in the superior image but there are special days.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<p>Those special days are every Saturday of the month when some cars do not have to stay at home and others will have to stay in the garage week by week. But, doubts come with those who rotate.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<p>Because, indeed, one day as the following conditions can be applied today.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cars that can circulate every Saturday<\/li>\n<li>Cars that have to rest every Saturday<\/li>\n<li>Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another no+<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These restrictions, however, do not apply all day. At night they do not take into account and, therefore, are active between <strong>05:00 and 10:00 p.m.<\/strong>. That is, at night we can move freely and without being afraid of fines.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --> <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 7 --><\/p>\n<p>The calendar because on Saturdays, as we said, they are special. Some cars, those of Hologram 2, may not move any Saturday of the month. These cars have to stay home every Saturday at the time that restrictions are applied. The opposite happens with those of Hologram 0 and 00. In that case, there is total freedom.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 8 --><\/p>\n<p>And the hologram 1? In that case, for restrictions the calendar must be taken into account. This <strong>Saturday, July 19, 2025<\/strong> We are facing the third Saturday of the month. That means that it is the cars with hologram 1 and plate finished in odd number those that rest. Next week, as is broken, they will be finished in torque.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 9 --><\/p>\n<p>However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid<\/li>\n<li>Those who have disabled plate<\/li>\n<li>All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals)<\/li>\n<li>Those who offer school or passenger transport<\/li>\n<li>Those destined for public safety and\/or civil protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"article-asset article-asset-normal article-asset-center\">\n<div class=\"desvio-container\">\n<div class=\"desvio\">\n<div class=\"desvio-figure js-desvio-figure\">\n     <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Contamination is not only making you live less and worse.
