By the A.M. Costa Rica staff The pandemic mandated driving restrictions continue this week, from today to Sunday, Oct. 31, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. as long as their plate number isn’t banned for the day, the National Emergency Commission said. The ban on driving was implemented by a National Decree for Health Emergency in 2020, as a measure to try to decrease covid-19 infections. Drivers should print and keep the ban-on-driving schedule displayed below with them at all times. The driving restrictions apply as follows: · Monday, Oct. 25, plates ending in 1 or 2 are banned. · Tuesday, Oct. 26, plates ending in 3 or 4 are banned. · Wednesday, Oct. 27, plates ending in 5 or 6 are banned. · Thursday, Oct. 28, plates ending in 7 or 8 are banned. · Friday, Oct. 29, plates ending in 9 or 0 are banned. . Saturday, Oct. 30, plates ending in odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) are banned. . Sunday, Oct 31, plates ending in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8) are banned. There is no driving past 10 p.m., except those traveling to authorized places such as the airport, a clinic, work, school, hotel, among others. The list of exceptions that allow any vehicle to drive at night is on the government website under Vehicle Exceptions. Drivers caught disregarding the driving restrictions must pay a fine of about $180. Readers can verify the car plate number restrictions by visiting the government website’s Vehicle Restriction Alert. The government confirmed that due to the continuous increase in covid-19 cases in the country, the restrictions should continue until herd immunity can be achieved, which is at least 83% of the population, approximately 4,274,344 million people vaccinated. As of the last week updated report, 2,527,143 people have completed their two-dose vaccine against covid-19 in Costa Rica. Drivers who want to appeal a fine made by traffic police have the option of claiming by email. Also, vehicle owners whose license plates were seized by traffic officers could recover them through home delivery services provided by Correos de Costa Rica. A practical solution to avoid driving is to request a ride-hailing service or use public transportation. ---------------- Should the government lift the drive restrictions for fully vaccinated people?
