Before you start your car, it’s essential to be aware of the license plate groups affected by the Pico y Placa regulation in Bogotá for Tuesday, July 23. Authorities have the right to immobilize your vehicle if you’re driving during the restricted hours associated with this mobility measure, which also comes with the risk of a fine.
In Bogotá, road improvement projects are ongoing, including closures on key corridors like Avenida Primero de Mayo, Boyacá, and Calle 80. These construction activities will commence on Monday, July 22, at 10:00 PM, and will involve continuous closures for 24 hours a day to ensure the timely completion of the work by contractors.
Starting in 2022, driving faster than 50 kilometers per hour on urban roads became illegal in Colombia, with a further restriction of 30 km/h in school and residential areas. This rule is part of Law 2251, enacted in mid-2022, also known as the Julián Gómez Law.
The law honors a young fan of Colombian cyclist Egan Bernal, who tragically died in a traffic accident while riding his bike in 2021. The incident was aggravated by excessive speed, which contributed to the circumstances surrounding his death.
The implementation of these speed regulations aims to enhance road safety and prevent similar tragedies in the future. For anyone interested in additional information on traffic rules and regulations in Colombia, resources such as the Colombian Ministry of Transport can provide valuable insights.
