Cainta sits in Rizal province, right on Metro Manila’s eastern border — and the MMDA number coding scheme applies on its covered roads, especially the Ortigas Avenue extension corridor. Here is how coding works if you drive through Cainta.
Cainta Coding Schedule
| Day | Plate numbers ending in |
|---|---|
| Monday | 1 and 2 |
| Tuesday | 3 and 4 |
| Wednesday | 5 and 6 |
| Thursday | 7 and 8 |
| Friday | 9 and 0 |
| Saturday and Sunday | No coding |
Coding Hours and Window Hours in Cainta
Coding is enforced from 7:00–10:00 AM and 5:00–8:00 PM, Monday to Friday. During window hours from 10:01 AM to 4:59 PM, coded vehicles may travel on covered roads.
What Cainta Drivers Should Know
- Roads under MMDA coverage follow the standard scheme; local Cainta roads may fall under municipal traffic rules instead.
- Ortigas Avenue extension is the main enforcement corridor — it is also one of the most congested, so time your trips for the midday window on your coding day.
- Cainta is flood-prone during heavy rain, which can trigger MMDA suspension announcements — check before traveling in bad weather.
