The Hoy No Circula program restricts certain vehicles in Mexico City and the State of Mexico to reduce pollution, and on March 6, cars with blue stickers and license plates ending in 9 or 0 are prohibited from circulation all day.
The Hoy No Circula program, aimed at reducing air pollution in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, is in effect on Friday, March 6. The initiative restricts the circulation of certain vehicles based on the color of their stickers and the last digits of their license plates. On this specific day, cars with a blue sticker and license plates ending in 9 or 0 will not be allowed to operate, as part of a broader effort to combat environmental degradation in the region.
Following a Thursday evening with severe weather, which prompted yellow alerts for rain, residents will need to rely on public transport or adhere to the restrictions while commuting to work and school on Friday. The regulations are enforced between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and authorities in the 16 boroughs of Mexico City and the adjoining municipalities in the State of Mexico can impose fines for violations.
Additionally, commuters using the Mexico City Metro should be aware of ongoing construction on Line 2, which will temporarily disrupt services, with a provision for RTP bus services to assist affected stations. This operational update signifies the importance of adhering to traffic regulations and planning ahead for potential disruptions caused by weather or infrastructural works, particularly in the context of urban mobility issues in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world.
