What was commented in recent days, about possible changes in the Bogotá’s ‘peak and plate’ in 2022, already confirmed.
(See: What measures and restrictions will Bogotá have by the end of the year).
As it transpired, the District Secretary of Mobility will implement the restriction measure during the Monday holidays.
In this regard, the mayor Claudia lopez I had already commented on something, without giving many details. “We have adopted a joint decision as a Metropolitan Region“said the president.

HOW WILL IT WORK
The ‘peak and plate’ on holiday Mondays will take effect from the next holiday Monday January 10, 2022. And it will apply to all entrances to the capital.
The measure will take turns, as follows:
– Until noon, all cars will be able to enter.
– From 12 pm to 4 pm, Only cars with even plates will be allowed to enter.
– From 4 pm to 8 pm, Only cars with an odd license plate can enter.
– After 8 pm, all cars will be able to enter.
(See: Taxis Libres and Bancolombia join forces to generate payments with QR codes).
The Bogotá entrances for which the measure will work are:
– North Freeway: from the Andes tollbooth to the north portal, north-south direction.
– South highway: from the municipal limit of Soacha to Boyacá Avenue, south – north direction.
– Avenida Centenario (13th street): from the Bogotá river to the Avenida Ciudad de Cali (Avenida Carrera 86), west-east direction.
– Avenida calle 80: from the guadua bridge to portal 80, west-east direction.
– Avenida Carrera 7: from Calle 245 to Calle 183, north-south direction.
– Avenida Boyacá via al Llano: from the Algerian Durán Quintero tunnel to the old road to Llano, south-north direction.
– Via Suba – Cota: from the Bogotá river to 170th street avenue, north-south direction.
This measure seeks to reduce the traffic congestion that is generated, after a festive bridge at the entrances of Bogotá. Something similar was already applied in the municipality of Soacha.
(See: What’s going on with high prices and delays in transportation apps).
It is important to note that this ‘peak and plate’ will not have the exceptions of: 3 or more people in the car, medical personnel vehicles and ‘solidarity peak and plate’ (daily, weekly or monthly). And it only applies for Monday holidays.
