The “Hoy No Circula Sabatino” program is once again in effect this weekend, a strategy implemented by the Secretariat of Environment of Mexico City (SEDEMA) to regulate vehicle traffic and mitigate pollutant emissions in the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico. Drivers planning to use their vehicles on Saturday, June 6, 2026, must verify their license plate’s final digit and their vehicle’s emissions sticker (hologram) before traveling. These restrictions apply not only to the 16 territorial demarcations of Mexico City but also to various peripheral zones of the State of Mexico.

Municipalities covered by the regulation include Atizapán de Zaragoza, Coacalco de Berriozábal, Cuautitlán, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Chalco, Chicoloapan, Chimalhuacán, Ecatepec de Morelos, Huixquilucan, Ixtapaluca, La Paz, Naucalpan de Juárez, Nezahualcóyotl, Nicolás Romero, Tecámac, Tlalnepantla de Baz, Tultitlán, and Valle de Chalco. If your route passes through any of these areas, you will be subject to the “Hoy No Circula Sabatino” provisions.

Understanding the Restrictions

The primary goal of this initiative is to reduce the number of vehicles on the road to lessen pollution levels. Saturdays have specific rules that complement the usual weekday schedule. The restrictions do not affect all drivers equally each weekend; circulation authorization or the obligation to stay home is determined by the vehicle’s hologram, the last digit of the license plate, and whether the Saturday falls in an “odd” or “even” week of the month.

It’s important to note that the “Hoy No Circula Sabatino” limitations are not in effect 24 hours a day. The restriction period runs strictly from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. During nighttime and early morning hours, traffic is generally free for all vehicles, unless environmental contingency phases or other extraordinary measures are activated.

For Saturday, June 6, 2026, the official calendar indicates it is the first Saturday of the month, categorized as an “odd week.” Therefore, vehicles with Hologram 1 and license plates ending in an odd digit are strictly prohibited from circulating during the specified operating hours. These vehicles must remain parked at home until the restriction concludes at 10:00 PM.

Vehicles with Hologram 0 and 00 are permitted to circulate freely. Automobiles with Hologram 2 have an absolute restriction and cannot drive on any Saturday of the year.

Exemptions to the Rule

Beyond the restrictions based on holograms and license plate numbers, several vehicle types are exempt from the “Hoy No Circula Sabatino” program:

• Electric, natural gas, or hybrid vehicles.
• Vehicles registered with license plates for people with disabilities.
• All vehicles used for public urban transportation services, including funeral services.
• Vehicles dedicated to school or passenger transport.
• Vehicles assigned to public security and/or civil protection services.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Drivers who fail to comply with the “Hoy No Circula” guidelines face penalties. Fines can range from 20 to 30 times the value of the Unidad de Medida y Actualización (UMA), which translates to approximately 1,924.40 to 2,886.60 Mexican pesos. In addition to fines, the non-compliant vehicle may be impounded and taken to a vehicle depot.
