Is the ETC camera on the highway for speed detection and fines?

[DelBriella]

Highway ETC toll cameras are not for speed detection; they are part of a new gantry-based segmented tolling model, where both ETC and manual payment vehicles are charged based on their actual travel path. The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid mistakenly paying for the vehicle in front due to its ETC device malfunction or absence, maintain a distance of over 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, can render the tag ineffective. In such cases, it can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or to the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human interference, reactivation is usually sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance can lead to payment failure. In such scenarios, follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane, paying via cash or card.
