  • No person shall sound the horn on a vehicle at any place where cold drinks or sandwiches are served after 9:00 P.M. -Little Rock City Code Sec. 18-54

    • ]]>     Due to heavy traffic in Metro Manila, certain areas of the city have laws that restrict certain vehicles based on the day of the week and the ending number of your vehicle’s license plate (this plan is called “Color Coding”, though it has nothing to do with the color of your vehicle). For example: Cars with license plates ending in 1 or 2 cannot drive between the hours of 7AM and 7PM on Mondays on most main roads. Be sure to check with a local contact or the car rental agency/hotel concierge about whether these rules will apply to your vehicle, especially as foreigners driving can become targets for less scrupulous traffic aides.

    Number Coding Day Plate number
    Monday 1, 2
    Tuesday 3, 4
    Wednesday 5, 6
    Thursday 7, 8
    Friday 9, 0
    Weekends and Holidays No coding
