As per reports, authorities in Bogotá will implement the regional “Pico y Placa” (license plate restriction) measure on Monday (15 June) to manage increased traffic volumes associated with the return of travelers following the holiday weekend.
• Under the measure, private vehicles with license plates ending in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) will be permitted to enter Bogotá between 1200 hours local time (1700 hours UTC) and 1600 hours local time (2100 hours UTC).
• Subsequently, private vehicles with license plates ending in odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) will be allowed to enter the city between 1600 2000 hours local time (2100 hours UTC on 15 June) and 2000 hours local time (0100 hours UTC on 16 June).
