Location changes the answer
The standard MMDA window does not apply everywhere. Makati is the major exception; several other cities can depend on the exact road.
Makati City
No standard midday window. On the vehicle’s coding day, the local restriction runs continuously through the day.
7:00 AM–7:00 PMRoute-specific areas: Muntinlupa, Taguig/BGC, Marikina, Pasay airport roads and some other local roads may use special coverage. Check the exact road and the latest LGU or MMDA advisory before relying on a window.
Number coding FAQ
Fast answers for the questions drivers ask most. These are planning aids, not a substitute for a same-day official advisory.
What are number coding window hours?
On most MMDA-covered roads, a coded private vehicle is expected to be allowed from 10:01 AM to 4:59 PM. Makati City does not use this midday window.
Is there coding on Saturday or Sunday?
The standard Metro Manila UVVRP does not run on weekends. Temporary traffic rules for special events can still apply.
Does number coding apply on holidays?
The standard scheme is generally suspended on official holidays. Because this page does not fetch live announcements, verify the day’s advisory before driving.
Are motorcycles covered?
Motorcycles are generally exempt from the standard Metro Manila number coding scheme. Local traffic rules and other restrictions still apply.
Which digit do I use?
Use the last numeric digit on the license plate. For example, a plate ending in 4 is coded on Tuesday.
Can I drive in Makati at noon?
Not on your vehicle’s coding day under Makati’s 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM no-window rule. The standard Metro Manila midday window should not be used for Makati.
Why does the result say “expected”?
The calculator applies the published standard timetable. It cannot detect holiday suspensions, emergency suspensions, road-specific arrangements, or a newly announced rule change.
Does the checker save my plate?
No. It asks only for one digit, processes it in your browser, and does not save or send the selection.
