GPS tracking for San José fleets, from the plate restriction to Route 32

San José fleets work around a weekday restriction on vehicles entering the capital by licence plate, limits on heavy cargo vehicles on weekdays, and the highway to the Caribbean container terminal at Moín. Connect a compatible tracker to Traxelio, add its SIM, and follow each vehicle with its trips, stops and the zones you draw.

Premium 29 USD / vehicle / month

Until a compatible tracker sends data, you have no current vehicle position, trips or alerts to review in Traxelio.

Local landmarks

A San José route is easy to describe and hard to prove

You know the landmarks. Traxelio shows when each vehicle reached them, how long it stayed and which route it took.

Route brief San José

  • Circunvalación

    Draw a zone on an access road to date each entry.

  • Ruta 32

    Draw a zone on a section to date each pass.

Set up a zone around each landmark (Circunvalación and Ruta 32) to get an alert when a vehicle arrives or leaves, then replay the day's trips.

The plate restriction in the capital

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport restricts vehicles in the Circunvalación ring and the streets inside it by the last digit of the plate, Monday to Friday from 06:00 to 19:00, except on the new northern stretch between Calle Blancos and La Uruca, according to the ministry's 2026 notices and CRHoy. Exceptions exist, so check which apply to your vehicles. A zone on a ring access road dates each entry.

Entries dated

Heavy cargo vehicles on weekdays

Executive Decree 38238-MOPT of 2014 bars cargo vehicles heavier than the C2+ type, 6 tonnes, from circulating on weekdays during stipulated hours and routes, according to two Official Gazette notices of 2024 in which the minister granted temporary exceptions. Check the current hours with the ministry. A zone on a listed route dates each pass.

Route 32 and the Moín terminal

In June 2025 hauliers heading for the Moín container terminal protested on Route 32 until the ministries of security, public works and labour agreed to a working group, according to the public works ministry, while the terminal operator APM Terminals Moín was rebuilding its access point with new control booths and a return lane to Route 257. A zone at your yard and one at the terminal gate give each run's arrival and wait.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Premium is 29 USD per vehicle per month according to the pricing page. The tracker is not part of that price and varies by model, though a recognised tracker you own can be reused.

Maybe; check fit before assuming it connects. Give the IMEI to the connect page, wait for the model check, then insert a SIM with data.

No. The plate days, hours and exceptions are not in Traxelio and no vehicle is checked against them. A zone on a ring access road records when each vehicle entered, and you compare that with the ministry's calendar yourself.

Yes. A zone at your yard and one at the terminal gate give each run's departure and arrival, and the stops on the way show where a truck waited.
