Can I still use the manual lane if I have ETC?

If you have ETC, you can choose not to use the highway manual lane. Since the highway manual lane is not equipped with an ETC payment sensor, it is natural to take the manual lane to get a card and pay. There are also two ways to get a card in the manual lane: one is to get a card from a professional staff member, and the other is for the driver to get a card from the card dispenser by themselves. When passing through the toll station, you must slow down and pass in order, and do not cause congestion by cutting in line. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the owner's valid ID card and driving license. If it is not the owner who applies, you also need to bring the agent's valid ID card. The photocopy of the driving license needs to include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; aged 18 to 60; a car under personal name. For units or companies, you need the organization code certificate (or business license) and official seal. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, and uses computer networking technology to settle with the bank in the background, so that the vehicle can pay the highway or bridge toll without stopping when passing through the highway or bridge toll station. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Avoid the trouble of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through the toll station without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Save wear and tear: Save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starting and braking, reduce wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improve efficiency: The ETC lane passing efficiency can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making the traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and has more advantages.
