The rules can be a bit complex. While some cars face restrictions every Saturday, others may have more flexibility.

This means that \u00a0drivers can move freely at night,\u00a0 devoid of any concern for fines.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --> <\/p>\n<p>It is essential to note that these regulations do not operate uniformly every Saturday. \u00a0Careful examination\u00a0 of the calendar is necessary, as the impact varies week by week based on specific details including hologram categories and plate numbers.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --><\/p>\n<p>For instance, vehicles with \u00a0Hologram 2\u00a0 cannot circulate on Saturdays, while those with \u00a0Hologram 0 and 00\u00a0 enjoy unrestricted mobility every week. As for \u00a0Hologram 1\u00a0 holders, restrictions vary\u2014on \u00a0August 2, 2025\u00a0, those with odd-numbered plates must stay home.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 7 --><\/p>\n<p>Today marks the first Saturday of August; thus, the odd-numbered registered vehicles face a ban. The next Saturday, the regulations will shift to affect cars with plates ending in even numbers. Notably, several exceptions allow specific vehicles to operate freely:<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 8 --> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electric, natural gas, or hybrid vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles with disabled plates<\/li>\n<li>All urban transport services (including funeral services)<\/li>\n<li>School or passenger transport vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles dedicated to public safety 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.
