Vehicle registration centres have been instructed to learn how the ETCs work and attach the cards on vehicles registering for automatic toll payment.
Drivers get an e-tag card for free to start with.
The card is placed on the vehicle’s windshield and, when passing a toll station, transmits a signal to the ETC installed there to read the tag and activate cameras to photograph the vehicle’s licence plate.
The money is automatically deducted from the driver’s account associated with the tag.
Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Hong Truong said the ministry aims to replace 50 percent of manual toll stations with ETCs by June 1 this year.-VNA
