E-toll lane on all national highways from Sept. 1:
All toll plazas on national highways will have electronic toll collection facility with at least one lane dedicated to vehicles with electronic tag device, known as FASTags.
Context:
- All toll plazas on national highways of India will have electronic toll collection facility with at least one lane dedicated to vehicles with electronic tag device, known as FASTags, beginning September 1, 2017.
Explanation:
- FASTags is a device that can be installed on the windshield of any vehicle, and toll payments can be made directly from the pre-paid account linked to it.
- Hence such vehicles do not have to stop at toll plazas for payment of fees.
- Moreover the installation and integration of Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags at all toll plaza lanes are under progress and was likely be completed by October 31.
