The regulations apply not only in the 16 municipalities of Mexico City but also extend to several neighboring municipalities in the State of Mexico, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atizapan de Zaragoza<\/li>\n<li>Coacalco de Berrioz\u00e1bal<\/li>\n<li>Cuautitlan<\/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<\/ul>\n<p>If your travel route crosses any of these areas, the &#8220;Hoy No Circula&#8221; regulations will apply to you as well.<\/p>\n<h2>What Cars Are Affected?<\/h2>\n<p>The primary goal of the &#8220;Hoy No Circula&#8221; initiative is to reduce vehicle emissions to mitigate pollution levels. This regulation operates on a specific scheme where the hologram, license plate last digit, and whether it is an even or odd week determine which vehicles must remain parked.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the restrictions are not in effect for 24 hours but rather from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. This allows for free movement during the night and early morning unless an environmental contingency is declared.<\/p>\n<h2>Specifics for July 25, 2026<\/h2>\n<p>On <strong>July 25, 2026<\/strong>, classified as the fourth Saturday of the month, vehicles with hologram 1 and license plates ending in an even number will not be allowed to circulate during the designated hours. Vehicles with hologram 0 and 00 can travel freely. Notably, those with hologram 2 are prohibited from circulation on any Saturday throughout the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Exempt Vehicles<\/h2>\n<p>Some vehicles are exempt from these restrictions and can operate without penalties, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Electric or hybrid vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles registered for persons with disabilities<\/li>\n<li>Urban public transportation vehicles<\/li>\n<li>School or passenger transport vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles assigned for public security and civil protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Penalties for Non-Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>The penalty for failing to adhere to the &#8220;Hoy No Circula&#8221; regulations ranges between 20 and 30 times the Measurement and Update Unit (UMA), translating to a fine of approximately 1,924.40 to 2,886.60 Mexican pesos. Additionally, offenders risk having their vehicles towed or impounded, which can lead to significant delays in resolving administrative issues with authorities.<\/p>\n<p>For residents and visitors, understanding these regulations is crucial to avoid fines and reduce environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>Photo |  <a rel=\"noopener, noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/es\/@goldynmedia\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Jaber<\/a><\/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>This weekend, the &#8220;Hoy No Circula&#8221; program regulates vehicle circulation to control pollution rates in the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico, as enforced by the Secretariat of the Environment of Mexico City ([SEDEMA](https:\/\/www.sedema.cdmx.gob.mx)).
