Jan. 8 Hoy No Circula: Green Sticker, Plates 1–2 Restricted 5 a.m.–10 p.m.

Drivers face jurisdiction-specific fines following the program’s expansion to additional State of Mexico municipalities.

Overview

  • The rule applies across Mexico City and the State of Mexico, including the recently added Valle de Toluca and Valle de Santiago Tianguistenco municipalities.
  • Restrictions cover vehicles with verification holograms 1 and 2 that have a green sticker and license plates ending in 1 or 2 during 05:00–22:00.
  • Exempt vehicles include those with hologram 0 and 00, as well as hybrid and electric models; outlets also note that motorcycles, taxis, public transport and cargo vehicles are not subject to the limits.
  • No environmental contingency was reported for the day, so the standard Thursday schedule remains in effect.
  • Penalties vary by jurisdiction: Mexico City imposes 20–30 UMAs and may tow the vehicle, while the State of Mexico applies a 20 UMA fine without tow; only authorized officers can sanction, and authorities advise checking Sedema and Edomex sites, noting an upcoming UMA update could change amounts.
