Tip instruktora
“Hoy No Circula restrictions now cover the Toluca valley. Driving on your restricted day costs 20 UMA (approximately MXN 2,200). Late vehicle verification is 30 UMA, and exceeding emission limits detected by remote sensors costs 24 UMA plus license plate confiscation. Check your hologram sticker for your restricted days.”
Updated NOM Vehicle Safety Standards
Účinné od 1 січня 2026 р.
Basic safety requirements
Light vehicles required basic safety components but not aligned with international standards
International safety compliance
All new light vehicles must comply with international safety standards for three-point seat belts, headrests, mirror systems, and seat systems; mandatory ABS and front airbags for all new vehicles
Oficiální zdroj: SICT NOM Standards
Tip instruktora
“Mexico is closing the safety gap with the US and Europe. All new cars must now have ABS, front airbags, and seat systems that meet international standards. When buying a new car, look for these mandatory features.”
General Law on Mobility and Road Safety Implementation
Účinné od 1 січня 2026 р.
Fragmented state-level rules
Road safety laws varied significantly between states with no national framework for child restraints, helmet use, or speed management
National safety framework
Continued implementation of 2022 national law mandating child restraint systems, drink-driving enforcement, universal helmet use, seat belt compliance, and speed management aligned with WHO best practices
Oficiální zdroj: Ley General de Movilidad y Seguridad Vial
Tip instruktora
“Mexico's 2022 General Law on Mobility and Road Safety is being enforced more broadly across states. Key requirements include proper child restraint systems, zero-tolerance for drink-driving, mandatory helmet use for motorcyclists, and universal seat belt compliance. States are updating local laws to align with the national framework.”

Re: Stricter Vehicle Emission Verification
Tip instruktora
“Your vehicle's hologram sticker determines when you can drive. Double Zero (00) and Zero (0) holograms are exempt from Hoy No Circula restrictions. To get an Exempt hologram, your vehicle must be no more than 8 years old and pass emission testing. Remote sensors on roads now detect vehicles exceeding emission limits.”
