Toll Plaza News: Major news regarding toll plazas has emerged. Now, there will be no toll plaza within a 60-kilometer stretch on new highways. You can find the details here.

Toll Plaza News: This is a major relief for highway travelers. It will now be mandatory to maintain a minimum distance of 60 kilometers between two toll plazas on new national highways and expressways. The government has implemented this new rule in response to public complaints and the issue of frequent toll collection. Those who travel on highways almost daily will benefit the most from this decision. Here are the details of this new rule.

What is the new rule?

According to the new rule from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, a second toll plaza will not be constructed within 60 kilometers of the first on any new highway. This means people will not have to pay toll tax repeatedly over short distances.

What was the problem earlier?

On many highways, a second toll plaza would appear within just 30–40 kilometers, forcing travelers to spend more money. Daily commuters, in particular, had long been demanding a change to this rule.

Relief for FASTag users too

FASTag users will also benefit from the new rule. Fewer toll plazas will lead to reduced traffic congestion. Additionally, travel time will be saved, and there will be relief from frequent toll deductions. The government has already made the FASTag system mandatory across the country.

Why did the government introduce this new rule?

The government states that this decision was taken to make highway travel easier and faster. In the near future, the government will also accelerate work on a GPS-based toll system. Once implemented, people may only have to pay a toll based on the actual distance traveled.
