Regional pico y placa in Bogotá today Sunday, August 9: fines, schedules, and roads with restrictions

To facilitate the entry of thousands of travelers returning to the country’s capital during this holiday weekend, the Bogotá traffic authorities have set the mobility scheme that will apply at the city’s access points this Sunday, August 9, 2026. The regional peak and plate measure aims to speed up vehicle traffic and prevent bottlenecks at the main entrances.

Those who travel through these sections without complying with the rule are subject to an economic sanction of $633,200, in accordance with the current traffic regulations.

Schedules and plate combinations for the return. The vehicle entry restriction will operate in a staggered manner in two shifts during the afternoon, ensuring that the flow of private cars is uniform:

• From 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.: Vehicles with plates ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8) are allowed to enter.

• From 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.: Vehicles with plates ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) may circulate.

During the morning, before noon, and at night, after 8:00 p.m., there will be no time or plate number restrictions to enter the capital through these corridors.

The nine road corridors with vehicle control. The regional peak and plate applies to specific sections of nine strategic city access points. The regulation is mandatory both for travelers arriving from other municipalities and for drivers moving within Bogotá who need to circulate through these sectors:

• Calle 80 Avenue: From the Guadua Bridge to the Portal 80 of the TransMilenio system, west to east direction.

• Choachí Road: From Monserrate Road to Circunvalar Avenue, east to west direction.
