4 Key Points to Know
About ETC-Only Toll Gates

POINT
01

What are ETC-only toll gates

The purple sign indicates
the ETC-only entrance.

Cash and credit cards are
not accepted as payment.

At the ETC-only entrance, payments cannot be made with cash, credit cards, or ETC cards. Certificates cannot be issued either.

POINT
02

Points to Note
at ETC-Only Toll Gates

In the unlikely event of accidentally entering...

If you accidentally enter the ETC-only entrance, it is extremely dangerous to make a U-turn or reverse. Please proceed to the support lane, stop next to the intercom, press the call button, and follow the instructions of the staff. You may be asked to present your driver's license. In addition, it is extremely dangerous to get out of your vehicle near the toll booth, so please refrain from doing so.

POINT
03

Advantages of ETC-Only Conversion

Improved safety and comfort

Safety and comfort are improved by reducing the confusion between ETC vehicles and cash vehicles,
as well as the need for repetitive stops and starts.

Improvement of the surroundings around toll booths

Eliminating stop-and-go traffic enables smoother driving and improves the environment.

Smooth flow through congested sections

Flexible pricing, including discounts for off-peak times and routes,
will make it easier for customers to use congested areas.

POINT
04
