A technological look at capital traffic management
Tehran metropolis has been using different systems for many years to balance transportation and clean air. In 1404, we are faced with one of the most intelligent versions of traffic control. Unlike in the past, when the police used to check license plates with their eyes, today advanced cameras based on artificial intelligence monitor the traffic situation at all entrances, exits and even inside city streets.
Accurate understanding of even and odd rules of Tehran 1404 is essential for every driver. Because being unaware of a small change in hours or range can impose heavy costs on your citizen’s wallet. In this article, in simple language and away from administrative complications, we review everything you need to know about traffic, maps and fines.
Even and odd design time 1404 in Tehran

Accurate timing is the golden key to avoid fines. The odd and even plan hours are different depending on the days of the week and the monitoring systems are activated exactly at the top of the hour.
Schedule from Saturday to Wednesday
On working days of the week when the volume of traffic reaches its peak, the hours of implementation of the restriction will start at the same time as the working hours of offices and schools. According to the latest approvals, the scheme starts at 6:30 AM and continues until 6:00 PM (6 PM). This means a period of about 12 hours during which the cameras will scan your license plate. If you plan not to use your quota, you should adjust your traffic outside this period.
A different story on Thursdays
Thursdays in Tehran have their own story. The good news is that on Thursdays, Tehran traffic plan 1404 (the city’s central circle) is canceled and entry is free. But you have to be careful; Because the even and odd design of Tehran (second ring) is still standing. On Thursdays, the scheme starts at 6:30 AM and ends at 1:00 PM. Many drivers mistakenly think that the city is completely free on Thursdays, and this causes them to have their quota deducted or fined.
What is the even and odd design of the door of the house 1404?
You must have heard in the news that “tomorrow the plan will be implemented from the front door”. This is an emergency situation and its rules are completely different from normal days. When the air pollution index reaches the warning limit, the emergency committee activates this plan.
In this situation, the seasonal quota of 20 days has no meaning and the only thing that matters is The last digit of your license plate number:
- Even days (Saturday, Monday, Wednesday): Only cars with an even number on the last number plate (2, 4, 6, 8) are allowed to move (zero is usually considered even).
- Odd days (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday): Only vehicles with the last odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are allowed to drive.
A very important point here is that at the time of implementation of the even and odd project from the door, the scope of the project is the entire city of Tehran and is no longer limited to the city center. Even if you have a free quota, you will be fined if your license plate does not match the day of the week.
Even and odd design map of Tehran

To know exactly when you are entering the range, you need to have an accurate mental picture of the geographic boundaries. Tehran has two traffic circles. The first ring is the main traffic plan in the city center. The second ring, which is wider, is the air pollution control range or the former couple and individual. The borders of Tehran even and odd map are as follows:
- North: Hammet highway
- South: Ba’ath Highway
- East: Imam Ali highway
- West: Nawab and Chamran highway
All the entrances of these highways towards the inner city are controlled by cameras.
The difference between the traffic plan and even and odd Tehran
Many users still do not know the exact difference between these two ranges. Understanding the difference will help you manage your expenses:
- Cost and quota: You have a free quota (20 days per season) within the scope of Tehran’s even and single plans. But within the scope of the main (central) traffic plan, there are no free days and you have to pay for each traffic.
- overlap: The range of the main traffic plan is located in the heart of the even and odd range. If you enter the main range, naturally you have crossed the even and odd range as well. But don’t worry, the system is smart and only charges you for the main plan (which is more expensive) and you won’t be charged twice.
- Price: The toll rate for couples and singles is half the price of the main range.
How to register and use quota
In 1404, everything is digitized. To use the free quota or pay tolls, you must join the “Tehran Man” system or similar valid applications.
- Registration: Register in the system with your mobile number and national code.
- Add car: Go to the “My Cars” section and enter the car information (license plate number and VIN).
- Account charge: Always have some money in your citizen wallet. The system automatically deducts the tolls.
Please note that, unlike the main traffic plan, which is better to be reserved, there is no need to make a reservation to enter the even and odd plans, and the system automatically deducts from the quota or calculates tolls.
Fines for even and odd plans in Tehran 1404

If you don’t follow the rules, you will face deterrent fines. The fine system in 1404 is a bit complicated and includes two parts “municipal fines” and “police fines”.
If your free quota is over and you enter the area without charging your account, you will both owe tolls and a fine will be issued to you. The police fine for unauthorized entry is about 168,750 Tomans.
Important note: If you do not pay this fine within a month, its amount will be doubled. So be sure to check your violation list regularly.
Penalty for couples and singles from the door
On the days when the air is polluted and the national plan is implemented, the police are more strict. The fine for even and odd plans from the door of the house for cars whose license plates are against the day is usually set at 200,000 Tomans. In addition to cameras, police officers are also present throughout the city and may fine offending vehicles several times along the way.
The news of Tehran’s couple and odd plan and possible changes
Traffic rules are not fixed and may change throughout the year. It is very important to follow the news of Tehran’s couple and individual plan from official sources. For example, at the beginning of October and the reopening of schools, sometimes the schedule changes or floats. Also, in the case of weather inversion in winter, the sale of daily plans may be stopped. Therefore, before planning to travel in the city center, be sure to check the news of the day.
Tehran even and odd design for travelers
If you are not a resident of Tehran and you travel to the capital by private car, you should know that the rules apply to you as well. Cars with city license plates (plates other than Iran 11, 22, etc.) have a lower quota.
Only 15 days of free travel in each season are considered in Tehran’s odd and even plan for passengers. The most important point is that even to use these 15 days, you must register in the “Tehran Man” system. If you enter without registration, the cameras will register your license plate as a violator and you will be fined.
Special discounts for clean cars and residents
The city administration has considered discounts to encourage citizens:
- Superior technical examination: If your car has a superior technical inspection, you will benefit from a 30% discount on tolls.
- Area residents: If your home is within the scope of the scheme, by registering your residence information in the system, you can use a 50% discount, as well as the possibility of one free check-out before 9:00 and one free check-in after 16:00.
