Can ETC be processed across provinces?
1 Answers
ETC can be processed across provinces, requiring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle license, and vehicle photos. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes green and low-carbon travel, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent issues like the front vehicle's ETC device malfunctioning or lacking an ETC device, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the front vehicle. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. Speeding may prevent reading the vehicle's device information and result in failed toll deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or a highway service center for inspection. Non-deliberate detachment or loosening only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause toll deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use the manual MTC lane with cash or card payment. Excessively thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is especially important for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or for those with modified front windshields.
