MMDA: Number coding lifted on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024

The number coding scheme in Metro Manila will be lifted on Friday, February 9, 2024, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said.

On its official account on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, the MMDA said that the expanded number coding scheme will be suspended this Friday in commemoration of Chinese New Year.

February 9 has also been declared a special non-working day. 

The Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), more commonly known as the expanded number coding scheme, bars some vehicles on EDSA and other thoroughfares in the National Capital Region one day a week during the hours of 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., depending on the last number of their license plate.

Vehicles with license plates ending in 1 and 2 must obey the prohibition on Monday; vehicles with license plates ending in 3 and 4 on Tuesday; 5 and 6 on Wednesday; 7 and 8 on Thursday; and 9 and 0 on Friday. — BM, GMA Integrated News
