The return plan of this festive weekend of the Immaculate Conception, to facilitate the massive return of people to the country’s capital. The coordination includes both restrictions and enabling counterflows and reversible traffic, to manage the high traffic flow expected on roads such as Girardot-Bogotá, Villavicencio-Bogotá, Tunja-Bogotá, Villeta-Bogotá and La Mesa-Bogotá.
The central measure for today is the peak and regional plate of entry to Bogotá. According to the provisions, Between 12:00 noon and 4:00 pm only vehicles with license plates ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) enter.and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm only those with odd plates (1, 3, 5, 7, 9).

He regional peak and plate applies in the nine main entry corridors to the city: Autopista Norte, Autopista Sur, Avenida Centenario (13th Street), Calle 80, Carrera Séptima, Avenida Boyacá / Vía al Llano, Vía Suba–Cota, Vía a La Calera, among others.
To improve vehicle flow, A reversible will be enabled in Race Seven —between 245th Street and 183rd Street— in a north-south direction, as part of the Return Plan. This measure will operate between 4:30 pm and 8:00 pm or 9:00 pm, depending on the volume of vehicles.
The Government of Cundinamarca has also activated its mobility and road safety plan, with restrictions for heavy duty vehicles in several corridors, and special regulations on return routes such as those that serve Girardot, La Mesa, Villeta, and the roads to Llano and Villavicencio.
The operation will involve a deployment of more than 800 traffic agents, police and road managers in different parts of Bogotá, in addition to control, surveillance and permanent traffic monitoring equipment.
For those who return to Bogotá, these measures imply that It is key to check the final digit of the license plate, plan the entry time —preferably before 12:00 m. or after 8:00 pm if the license plate allows it—, and keep in mind that there will be counterflows, reversible and heavy load restrictions in different sections.
What should be taken into account for the return?
- Consult in time the final digit of your license plate and adjust your entry time within the allowed range.
- I prefer to enter the city before noon or after 8:00 p.m. if it is not on the schedule on your plate.
- If you use routes like the Seventh, pay attention to the direction of the reversible: it will be north to south.
- Heavy duty vehicles: avoid restricted routes and check possible detours.
