Toll technology

ALL highway toll stations in Hangzhou, including its seven suburban districts and counties, will have exclusive lanes for vehicles with ETC (electronic toll collection) tags.

Vehicles with an ETC tag can drive through toll stations at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. An ETC device in the toll booth reads the tag and deducts the toll from a prepaid card. The new lanes can reduce congestion and accidents at toll stations.

There are currently 42 ETC lanes at 19 toll stations in Hangzhou. Drivers who use the local ETC tag can enjoy a 5 percent discount on tolls. Those who pay cash at the toll booths don't get the discount.

Drivers can apply for an ETC tag and a prepaid card at China CITIC Bank outlets in the city.
