From January 16 to December 29 of this year, a decree was established in Cali in which measures were adopted to improve the transit of motor vehicles on the city roads for the 2023 validity.
The Undersecretariat for Sustainable Mobility and Road Safety recommended continuing the so-called Pico y Placa, for the better ordering of traffic in the capital of the Valley.
This measure has proven to be necessary to reduce the accident rate, as one of the positive factors to be highlighted.
The first period began on January 16 and will end this Friday, June 30; that is, the rotation of the Peak and Plate in Cali will begin in the month of July as dictated by this decree.
When does the new rotation start?
The rotation in the Pico y Placa for this second semester of the year will take place during the period between Tuesday, July 4 and Friday, December 29, 2023, within the urban and rural areas of the city.
Between July 3 and 7 of this year, the measures adopted in this article will be of a pedagogical nature.
New Peak and Badge:
• Monday: 1 and 2.
• Tuesday: 3 and 4.
