What does ETC tolling photography mean on highways?
1 Answers
ETC tolling photography on highways refers to the segmented tolling system implemented after the removal of provincial boundary toll stations. Highways now adopt a new 'gantry-based segmented tolling' model, where both ETC and manual payment vehicles are charged uniformly based on their vehicle type and actual travel path. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle ahead is stationary, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. Exceeding this speed may result in failure to read vehicle device information and unsuccessful toll deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be tested at the bank where the ETC card was issued or at highway service centers. Non-intentional loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause toll deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payment. Excessively thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles with replaced windshields after accidents or those with modified front windshields.
