Which plates are coded each weekday?
Monday1 & and 2Plate endings
Tuesday3 & and 4Plate endings
Wednesday5 & and 6Plate endings
Thursday7 & and 8Plate endings
Friday9 & and 0Plate endings
Use the plate’s final numerical digit. A plate ending in 0 is scheduled on Friday, alongside 9. Section 12 lists Monday through Friday; there is no regular Saturday or Sunday coding in the schedule represented here.
For example, a private car ending in 3 follows Tuesday’s two restriction blocks. A noon trip falls inside the regular midday gap. A listed non-working holiday or a verified notice for that Tuesday can change the result, so check the exact date.
A highway is not automatically exempt
Section 3 gives the code coverage over roads, thoroughfares and public places within Quezon City’s jurisdiction. Section 12 describes the coding restriction on any road or highway. It does not supply a named list of coding-free roads.
Do not treat a road’s name, a national-highway label or a generic list of expressways as proof that your whole QC trip is exempt. This guide does not establish a special exemption for EDSA, Commonwealth Avenue or Quezon Avenue. For a specific ramp, connecting street or disputed boundary, check with QC TTMD and the relevant road authority.
The checker evaluates the selected timetable, not a route. If the trip continues into Makati, read the Makati coding guide before applying QC’s midday window there. The city guide explains the two supported rule sets.
Vehicle exemptions and the ordinance’s fine
Section 12 lists motorcycles, public utility vehicles including tricycles, TNVs, garbage trucks, fuel trucks, ambulances, fire trucks, registered and marked government vehicles, marked media vehicles, vehicles carrying essential or perishable goods, and electric and hybrid vehicles as exceptions.
The same section states a ₱500 fine for a UVVRP violation. That is the coding fine in this ordinance, not a quote for a different offence or authority. Read the actual ticket and the city’s instructions for payment or a dispute.
The checker is for standard private cars. It does not validate registration, permits, a vehicle’s classification or exemption eligibility. Other restrictions, including truck bans, require a separate check.
Check the holiday’s classification and the notice’s date
The Philippine Information Agency’s MMDA announcement explains the automatic suspension on regular and special non-working holidays. The checker applies our listed 2026–2027 declarations. A special working day does not automatically lift the regular restriction.
A QC-only local holiday or new suspension may be missing from the calendar. Recorded MMDA notices apply only to their exact dates and hours; an afternoon suspension does not erase the morning restriction. An office closure, class suspension or road rerouting notice does not by itself establish a coding suspension.
Read the recorded notices and check current MMDA and QC TTMD announcements before relying on an exception. Source-monitoring coverage is partial.
Questions before driving in QC
Is there coding in Quezon City today?
Enter the plate’s last digit and travel date above. The result combines the regular weekday timetable with listed holidays and recorded notices. It is not a live check of every city announcement.
Can I drive at exactly 10 AM or 8 PM?
This guide preserves the endpoint minute as restricted. Its published MMDA free periods begin at 10:01 AM and 8:01 PM. See the timing-boundary explanation.
Does Quezon City have Makati’s 7 AM–7 PM schedule?
No. QC’s cited ordinance has morning and evening blocks. Makati’s cited city guide sets a continuous daytime restriction with no midday window. A trip crossing both needs the relevant schedule for each road.
Does a motorcycle need this plate checker?
QC’s section 12 lists motorcycles as exempt from its coding restriction. This private-car checker does not evaluate other motorcycle traffic rules or confirm permission for a whole route.
