The
restrictions were lifted on Dec.
23,
2024, due to lighter traffic caused by
holiday closures of public institutions
and private companies, according to the
Ministry of Public Works and
Transportation (MOPT).
Starting
on Monday, vehicles with specific license
plate numbers, including cars,
motorcycles, and trucks, are subject to
restrictions on Route 39, also known as
the Circunvalación Route,
which circles the capital city.
Electric vehicles
are exempt and may travel without
limitations.
The restrictions
are enforced Monday through Friday from
6 a.m. to 7 p.m. based on the last digit
of the vehicle's license plate: • Monday: Plates
ending in 1 or 2. • Tuesday: Plates
ending in 3 or 4. • Wednesday:
Plates ending in 5 or 6. • Thursday: Plates
ending in 7 or 8. • Friday: Plates
ending in 9 or 0.
Drivers who
violate the rule face a $55 fine,
according to the Traffic Law.
In 2023, more than
500 people died in traffic accidents.
The Ministry of
Public Works and Transportation (MOPT)
is a government agency responsible for
planning and managing roads, airports,
and maritime ports and also oversees
public transportation regulations.
