For weeks Mayor Augusto Barrera has been conferring with the National Police and other authorities to define a model of traffic control for Quito. The outcome is pico y placa. Pico refers to peak traffic hours and placa to license plate number. Excessive traffic congestion and the consequences of chaos and air and noise pollution have impelled the mayor to adopt this policy.
Restrictions will be rotative, based on the last digit of license plates, and enforced during peak traffic hours. For example, a license plate that ends in 1 might be prohibited from circulating on Mondays between 7-10 in the morning and 4-7:30 in the evening.
The Complexity of Quito’s Geography
As ex-mayor Roque Sevilla states, “…the geographical characteristics that make Quito beautiful are the same source of complex problems.”
