Mexico City and Edomex Enforce Monday Hoy No Circula for Yellow Stickers, Plates 5–6

The curbs aim to cut pollution across the Valley of Mexico following last year’s expansion into more State of Mexico municipalities.

Overview

  • Restrictions run from 05:00 to 22:00 across all CDMX boroughs and designated Edomex areas, including the Valle de Toluca and Tianguistenco.
  • Vehicles with verification holograms 1 and 2, yellow engomado, and plates ending in 5 or 6 are barred, and the rule applies to out‑of‑state cars.
  • Exempt categories include electric and certain hybrid vehicles, motorcycles, agricultural and construction machinery, historic plates, and units with valid 0 or 00 holograms or official exemptions.
  • Violations can bring monetary fines and vehicle impoundment in CDMX, though outlets report differing penalty ranges, citing 20–30 UMAs versus 20–200 UMAs.
  • Officials emphasize that Doble Hoy No Circula is activated only under poor air quality conditions and will be communicated through official channels if implemented.
