Hoy no circula

I am living right now in Ciudad Satelite, Naucalpan de Juarez, Estado de Mexico, it is part of the hoy no circula,

You are absolutely correct - Naucalpan de Juarez is clearly listed as one of the 18 municipios listed in the Hoy No Circula restricted zone.

You are complicating the matter, I have just posted the simple rules,

Yes - the rules you posted are simple - but not complete - or true.

The question in this thread asked about maps to get to Teotihuacan regarding the Hoy No Circula. My simple answer was you can get to Teotihuacan by taking the Arco Norte which does not pass through the Hoy No Circula. Also - according to the Hoy No Circula website where very specific rules are posted - Teotihuacan is NOT in the Hoy No Circula nor are any of the municipalities one would pass through to get to Teotihuacan.

Your simple answer states that the entire State of Mexico is in the Hoy No Circula but that is not remotely true. The Hoy No Circula website clearly states there are only 18 or the 125 municipios in the State of Mexico where the Hoy No Circula restrictions apply.

Anyone who reads the official website posted information will find that the information I have posted is fact and that it is very simple if you read my original posts and look at the maps I have provided. Please find all the facts before posting misinformation.

Entities participating in this program, Federal District, Estado de Mexico, Hidalgo, Puebla, Tlaxcala.

I could be totally wrong about this. After reading over the information provided by the previously mentioned website called Hoy No Circula where all the information can be found it is my understanding that the states mentioned in the quote above can participate in the emissions testing program to get a hologram which loosens the restrictions on vehicles which can pass the emissions tests. The restrictions do not appear to be in these areas but these states are listed as being those which can participate in the emissions program. I think perhaps this is because people who live in these areas may have to commute to work in restricted areas - I am just guessing at this but after many readings this seems to be the only conclusion I can come to. They can take an emissions test and if they pass they get a hologram which can be seen on the vehicle.

Also - - - the term San Juan Teotihuacan de Arista seems to have been universally shortened to just Teotihuacan and most use that name - I find using San Juan is rarely used because there must be a million other San Juans - Teotihuacan is much more specific.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuac%C3%A1n_(municipality)

San Juan Teotihuacan de Arista, State of Mexico, Mexico

Teotihuacán is a town and municipality located in the State of Mexico. It is in the northeast of the Valley of Mexico, 45 km northeast of Mexico City and 119 km from the state capital of Toluca. Teotihuacan takes its name from the ancient city and World Heritage site that is located next to the municipal seat.

"Teotihuacan" is from Nahuatl and means "place of the gods." In Nahua mythology the sun and the moon were created here.

As municipal seat, the town of San Juan Teotihuacán is the local governing authority for about 115 other named communities[20] with a combined territory of 82.65km2.[1] A little under half the municipality’s population lives in the town proper.[20] The municipality borders the municipalities of

Temascalapa,

Acolman,

Otumba de Gómez Farías,

San Martín de las Pirámides

and Tecámac.[1]

TECAMAC is the only municipality listed in the restricted zone but some routes could require that you pass through this area to get to Teotihuacan.

Based on the above information and other information about how the Spanish system of municipios is set up the name Teotihuacan is used for both the area specific to the place we would call a town - but also includes some 115 other communities around the main town. This often confuses people from the US about what is called a town in Mexico. I think in the US we would call it a county. So you would want to think of a municipio as a county - which might make it easier to understand what is meant by municipio or municipality.

Mr: briansue.

You are complicating the matter, I have just posted the simple rules, as a visitor to this parts follw those simple to understand rules and you will not have any trouble, I am living right now in Ciudad Satelite, Naucalpan de Juarez, Estado de Mexico, it is part of the hoy no circula, follow the simple rule.

Foreighn plated vehicle as in United States of A erica and Canada, do not drive before 11:00 AM, and depending on the last number on the license plate do not drive on the date shown on my previous post and do not drive on Saturday, simple and uncomplicated.

I completely understand it is very complicated and confusing. This is why I have tried to simplify by posting only the pertinent information. But as I post there are other posts which get into the confusion part of the rules. I will try again. There is a website – which I have posted previously – which is the current detailed information from the actual Hoy No Circula program. I did not get it from a newspaper or other website trying to explain it – I got it from the source – the people who post the actual rules. On this website they very clearly spell out the exact areas which fall under the program. There are many areas that are not restricted by the program. The problem is you may have to pass through restricted areas to get to areas not in the program. I have done everything I can possibly think of to get this information across in a simple way – to simplify the complications. Chris and I both posted the areas in the program. Nothing in the official website says anything about any other areas. If they are not listed or mentioned on the official website then the only conclusion I can come to is they are not restricted areas. If anyone has any other information I certainly think it would be useful to everyone if you would very clearly post where your information comes from and include the web-address where this information can be found. Here is the official website – and a calendar page within the website where the exact dates when which numbers are restricted can be found – and a page from that website showing something about getting inspected to get a hologram that may allow some loosening of restrictions.

I certainly hope someone can find and post information that makes things clearer – and let me suggest that posted information that does not come from an official government website with the actual official laws and rules is not much more than rumor.

It's confusing, one advantage is we have a mexican base and access to a lot of officials. Doing mexico city tours out of Teotihuacan is a lot easier than out of Puebla. It would be nice if they published a clear map with a boundary line. Seems to me the possible way to do it is to arrive on a sunday when there is no problem and look for the closest parking spot outside the boundary to park til light and leave San juan at 4:30 AM. The boundary cannot be far away. Passes are OK but with a group there may be a few too many with rigs over 15 years old. however most RV & truck plates do seem to end in a letter.

Rules for the hoy no circula taken from the Diario Official and writen in simple English for easy understanding.

Last number on lic plate.....no drive day of week

5 or 6_______________________Monday

There are two fines one for the smog law and one for the transit law, first one is 1,614 Pesos and the second one is 1,345 pesos and the vehicle is towed.

This is the current law.

Way too complicated for those that are not Spanish speakers, don't live in the areas mentioned and don't understand the system.

I hope the caravan makes it to the destination. They usually do without any issue but it's way too much for the typical foreigner to handle.

Our plates are letters and it is my understanding that letter plates day off is Friday so I searched but could not find that info. I searched at the Hoy No Circula website listed here......

Are you saying foreign plated vehicles are OK any day after 11 AM, or do their plate numbers prevne them on certian days as well?

I have tried to post websites which clearly explain the laws. If you go to the websites and read them carefully you will know exactly what the laws are. Please do not listen to rumors - get the facts. If your caravan has many different plate numbers you will be limited as to when you can pass through to Teotihuacan if you route through the Hoy No Circula Zone. If you want to be safe and avoid the zone you almost have to take the Arco Norte route to 132D. Read the websites I have posted. I am not making this up. I post the gov't websites where the facts can be found.
