How is ETC currently charged?
1 Answers
Currently, there are two payment methods for ETC: one is a credit card, where the car owner does not need to recharge the ETC card because it is linked to a credit card, allowing passage first and payment later; the other is a stored-value card, which only allows passage if there is money in the card, so the car owner needs to recharge the stored-value card in time. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to charging failure. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was processed or the highway service office for testing. Non-human-caused loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to charging failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card swiping for passage. The windshield of the car is too thick, resulting in poor sensing. Especially for vehicles that have had accidents and had their windshields replaced, or friends who have modified their front windshields need to pay attention.
