As noted in the image above, the restrictions are not uniform. Every Saturday sees slight variations depending on various factors, including \u00a0license plate numbers\u00a0 and \u00a0vehicle hologram classifications\u00a0. <\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 3 --><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a simplified breakdown of how the restrictions can apply on Saturdays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Vehicles allowed to circulate every Saturday\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Vehicles required to remain off the streets every Saturday\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Vehicles that alternate between Saturdays\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These measures are effective only during specific hours of the day\u2014from \u00a005:00 AM to 10:00 PM\u00a0. During nighttime hours, drivers are free to travel without \u00a0fear of fines\u00a0, providing a sense of flexibility in an otherwise restrictive environment.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 4 --><\/p>\n<p>One crucial point to remember is that the restrictions are not static; they may change from one Saturday to the next based on the \u00a0calendar\u00a0. For example, vehicles with \u00a0hologram 1\u00a0 may not be allowed to circulate on specific Saturdays, particularly if their license plates end in an even number.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<p>For instance, on \u00a0September 13, 2025\u00a0, vehicles with hologram 1 and license plates ending with an even number will be required to remain at home because it is a &#8220;par&#8221; or even day. In the subsequent week, the odd-numbered plates will be similarly restricted.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --><\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it is essential to note the exceptions to these rules. Certain categories of vehicles are exempt from the restrictions, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electric vehicles or those powered by natural gas or hybrids<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles with special disabled license plates<\/li>\n<li>Urban transport services, including funeral cars<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles serving school or passenger transit<\/li>\n<li>Emergency vehicles related to public safety and 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 issues related to traffic\" width=\"375\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749870835_917_Which-cars-are-allowed-to-drive-and-which-ones-are.jpeg\"\/>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Violating these restrictions can have financial repercussions. Drivers caught disregarding the Sabatino program face fines ranging from \u00a020 to 30 times\u00a0 the unit of measurement and update (\u00a0Uma\u00a0), totaling between \u00a01,924.40 pesos and 2,886.60 pesos\u00a0. It emphasizes the importance of \u00a0staying informed\u00a0 and following the rules established by authorities.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative serves not only to decrease vehicle emissions but also to promote a healthier lifestyle for residents. By minimizing traffic and fostering better air quality, the Sabatino program represents a critical step toward sustainable urban living in Mexico City.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Impact of the &#8220;Hoy No Circula&#8221; Program on Mexico City Traffic Every Saturday in Mexico City, a significant \u00a0initiative\u00a0 aimed at curbing pollution and reducing traffic congestion takes center stage.
