Improved Traffic Flow & Reduced Congestion

• Without toll booths requiring vehicles to slow down or stop, traffic can pass under toll gantries at highway speeds (free flow).
• Eliminating queueing and merging conflicts around plazas reduces bottlenecks, especially during peak hours or holiday travel.

Safety Enhancements

• Removing the need for drivers to switch lanes, brake, or accelerate near toll booths reduces crash risk associated with toll plazas.
• Fewer conflicts between cash-paying and electronic paying users in mixed toll lanes.
• Toll collection personnel are no longer required to work in close proximity to active traffic lanes, enhancing worker safety.
