If you drive a vehicle on the expressway or highway, then this news is useful for you. Even after having a hashtag on your vehicle, one mistake can prove to be costly. You have to pay double the toll. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued an order in this regard, which is important for you to know and you will be able to avoid paying double toll.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a notification related to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) on-board unit. Under this, tolls will be deducted automatically from vehicles fitted with GNSS. They will have to pay tolls for the distance they travel on the highway or expressway. Such drivers will not need to stop at the toll plaza. That means they will drive non-stop on the expressway and highway.

Avoid this mistake on expressways with fasting
Transport expert Anil Chikara said that there will be a dedicated lane to take out vehicles fitted with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) on-board units from the toll plaza non-stop. There will be no obstruction in this. But if a vehicle with a fast tag goes in this lane, then it will have to pay double the toll. Therefore, keep this in mind while driving on expressways and highways and avoid double tolls.

No toll will be charged for traveling less than 20 km
If a vehicle with an on-board unit travels less than 20 km, then it will not have to pay any toll. The people living in villages and cities around highways and expressways will benefit the most from this.

This is how drivers will benefit.
Currently, the driver has to pay a charge from one toll plaza to another. Even if he has to get down from the highway and return. Whereas with the new technology, tolls will have to be paid for the distance traveled on the highway.
