No Toll Tax If Waiting Time Exceeds 10 sec: NHAI Issues New Guidelines

As indicated by the Ministry, waiting time at toll plazas has diminished radically after the execution of the FASTag
This piece of information is certainly going to bring happiness for some of many voyagers who are troubled about the long lines at toll plazas instead of having a FASTag. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has given rules to guarantee close to 10 seconds of service time per vehicle in any event, during the pinnacle hours at toll plazas to guarantee negligible stand by time.

The new rules will likewise guarantee consistent progression of traffic at the toll plazas by not permitting vehicles to line up in excess of 100 meters. For this reason, a yellow line at a space of 100 meters from the toll booth will be marked in each toll path, the NHAI said, adding that this is to instill a further feeling of responsibility in toll plazas administrators.

 

Here are some of the new toll plazas guidelines:

1. Waiting time of not over 10 seconds for every vehicle in any event, during peak hours at the toll plazas on the National Highways.
2.  Smooth progression of traffic at the toll plazas by forestalling vehicles to line up in excess of 100 meters.
3.  If there is a line of holding up vehicles of in excess of 100 meters, the vehicles will be permitted to pass without paying a toll.
4.  A yellow line at a distance of 100 meters from the tollgate will be set in each toll path.

   As per the Ministry, holding up time at toll plazas has decreased radically after the execution of the FASTag. Noticing that despite the fact that at a large portion of the toll plazas, there is no holding up time after the required 100% FASTag, the NHAI said, "and still, at the end of the day if there is a line of holding up vehicles of in excess of 100 meters because of some cause, the vehicles will be permitted to pass without paying toll till the line goes in close area to 100 meters from the toll booth".

The NHAI said as social distancing has become the new standard, travelers are progressively viewing at FASTag as a toll payment choice as it invalidates the odds of any human contact between the drivers and the toll administrators.
