Is it useful to apply for ETC if I don't often use highways?
1 Answers
Applying for ETC is still useful even if you don't often use highways. Because ETC is free to apply, and after installation, your vehicle can enjoy a 5% discount when passing through toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel, as vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby decreasing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can 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 more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. ETC installation locations: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device are installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation location is in the middle-lower part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).
