Overview
- The Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana reported that 306 drivers exceeded legal alcohol limits and were referred to authorities between June 11 and June 18 under the Programa Conduce Sin Alcohol.
- Officials said the operation conducted tens of thousands of in-vehicle AlcoStop atmosphere screenings and nearly 1,000 evidentiary breath tests, with the SSC reporting 64,946 AlcoStop checks and 968 breathalyzer tests in the updated tally.
- As a result of the enforcement shift, the SSC reported 305 vehicles were impounded and drivers were taken to detention facilities known locally as the Torito.
- Preventive outreach at fan zones, the Zócalo Fan Fest, Última Milla perimeters and Park and Ride sites logged 3,413 friendly breath checks and safety advice aimed at stopping people from driving after drinking.
- Authorities say the operation is part of the wider World Cup security plan to protect residents and visitors, a move that could reduce road injuries but may also increase traffic delays near checkpoints and impound lots as the tournament continues.
