MMDA lifts vehicle coding scheme for Tuesday, cites Eid'l Fitr

Vehicles with plate numbers ending in 3 and 4 may drive through Metro Manila's major streets on Tuesday without getting flagged by traffic officers for violating the number coding scheme.

 

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority on Monday noted Tuesday a national holiday.

 

In an advisory, the MMDA said the no number coding policy applies to all Metro Manila cities due to Eid'l Fitr.

ADVISORY: The number coding scheme is LIFTED (all Metro Manila cities) on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 (Eid'l Fitr or Feast of Ramadhan). #mmda

The number coding system was devised to keep vehicles out of major thoroughfares on certain days based on the last digit of the license plate.

 

The system corresponds to 1 and 2 for Monday, 3 and 4 for Tuesday, 5 and 6 for Wednesday, 7 and 8 for Thursday, and 9 and 0 for Friday. – Joel Locsin/VS, GMA News
