How long does it take to apply for ETC at the highway entrance?
1 Answers
Applying for ETC at the highway entrance is an on-the-spot process. After payment, the OBU device is installed immediately, and the entire process takes about 10 minutes. For credit card ETC applications, you need to apply at the bank first, and the card is usually issued in about 7 days. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes green and low-carbon travel. Vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces expenses by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and tear, and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The efficiency of passing through ETC lanes can theoretically increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
