1 Answers
Non-ETC vehicles prohibited means that the lane is an ETC toll lane and maintains the status of an ETC vehicle-only lane, prohibiting non-ETC vehicles from entering the ETC lane. Below are relevant details: Solutions for accidentally entering: Generally, highway toll stations are equipped with soft barriers. If a driver is about to enter an ETC lane and realizes they are in the wrong lane, they can move these barriers to change lanes and proceed to the manual toll payment lane. Traffic laws stipulate: those who illegally occupy an ETC lane will be fined and receive 3 demerit points. ETC lanes are for ETC vehicles only: ETC lanes use automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle identification and the exchange of relevant toll data. Through computer networks, toll data is processed, hence only vehicles equipped with ETC can pass.
