Why a noon trip needs a different answer
A plate scheduled that weekday may fall inside the MMDA midday window at noon. The same plate remains within Makati’s continuous city-road restriction, unless a holiday, suspension or exemption applies. The plate’s weekday has not changed; the applicable road rule has.
For example, a private car ending in 1 is scheduled on Monday. Our regular-schedule checker shows 7 AM–7 PM when you select Makati city roads, rather than displaying the MMDA midday window.
EDSA and SLEX are outside Makati’s local scheme
The city guide lists EDSA and South Superhighway (SLEX) as excluded from Makati’s local number-coding restriction under section 136. That is an exclusion from the city scheme, not a statement that every other traffic rule is lifted on those roads.
Check MMDA rules where applicable. The checker does not trace a route or determine the rule for every ramp and connecting street; entering a covered Makati street can change the applicable schedule.
Motorcycles are exempt
Makati’s guide explicitly exempts motorcycles under section 138(a). It also lists emergency-service vehicles, military vehicles on official duty, diplomatic-plated vehicles, government vehicles with official LTO markings, clearly marked media vehicles, city-accredited tow trucks, and vehicles used by doctors or medical practitioners responding to emergencies or urgent treatment.
Read the guide for the conditions attached to each category. The checker applies the regular private-car schedule and does not decide whether your vehicle qualifies.
The city states a ₱500 coding fine
The October guide rejects claims of escalating first-, second- and third-offence coding fines under Ordinance No. 2003-089. It states a ₱500 fine for a coding violation. This is not a quote for another offence or another authority’s ticket.
The payment panel gives ten working days from the violation to pay the OVR and states a 5% daily surcharge for late payment. Check the actual ticket and the city’s instructions for your case; this checker does not calculate penalties or take payments.
Keep Makati and MMDA notices separate
The recorded MMDA suspension for 2 November 2026 does not independently establish a Makati suspension by itself. For that date, the Makati holiday result instead uses Proclamation 1006’s All Souls’ Day declaration together with Makati’s own holiday rule. The MMDA-only notice for 2 January 2026 is not transferred to Makati.
Questions before entering Makati
Does Makati have window hours from 10 AM to 5 PM?
No. The city’s 29 October 2026 guide confirms no window hours. That midday gap belongs to the MMDA timetable. Verify any exceptional city announcement separately.
Does Makati coding apply on holidays?
The city guide excludes Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The checker now applies the listed 2026–2027 declarations. Unlisted local holidays, later amendments and new suspension notices still need an authority check.
What are Makati’s plate endings for each weekday?
Monday: 1 and 2; Tuesday: 3 and 4; Wednesday: 5 and 6; Thursday: 7 and 8; Friday: 9 and 0. The city guide uses the last number of the plate or conduction sticker. This checker is labelled for standard private-car plates.
Does a general MMDA suspension automatically apply in Makati?
This guide requires a Makati-specific source before changing its Makati result. An MMDA notice alone is not counted as proof.
Does this page confirm my vehicle is exempt?
No. The checker has no registration or permit data and does not determine exemptions. Consult the city about your exact vehicle and trip.
