How to use transit adjustment

ETC customers

  • Customers using ETC are requested to use ETC wireless communication at both the exit and re-enter interchanges. (ETC vehicles will not be issued a "Transfer Certificate.")
  • ETC time zone discount will be applied, considering the transited journey as one.
    Toll charges are adjusted at the time of billing, so they may differ from those displayed at the toll gate.
  • Insert the same ETC card for all journeys and pass through the ETC lane at the tollgate.

Customers such as cash

  • Customers who pay by cash, etc. should receive the "passenger certificate" at the outflow IC and then collect the "passport" at the re-inflow IC. Please give "and" a pass ticket.

Common to ETC and cash customers

  • If the road closure is lifted after exiting at the exit IC, the toll will be adjusted even if you re-enter from an IC in the closed section in the forward direction (including the exit IC).
