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

If you have ETC, you can choose to use the manual lane on the highway. Since the manual lane on the highway is not equipped with an ETC fee sensor, it is natural to take the manual lane to get a card and pay. There are two ways to get a card in the manual lane: one is to receive a card from a professional staff member, and the other is for the driver to self-service the card from the card dispenser. When passing through the toll station, it is necessary to slow down and pass in order. Do not cause congestion by cutting in line. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, 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, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old; the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. For companies or organizations, the organization code certificate (or business license) and official seal are required. 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, allowing the vehicle to pay the highway or bridge toll without stopping when passing through the toll station. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: Avoid the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles passing through the toll station without stopping can reduce 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 can theoretically improve traffic efficiency by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
