Violation of a person who passed away at the Ikeda Toll Gate on the Doto Expressway without paying toll charges * On October 3rd, the Hokkaido Police announced that the documents had been sent for inspection.

In the document inspection this time, the suspect suspected the case to pass the toll-free declaration at the tollgate unilaterally to the staff and passed without paying the toll. It was triggered by the report, and is the first case in Hokkaido.

We believe that the documents sent by a suspect who has committed malicious traffic will ensure fairness in the payment of charges and prevent unauthorized traffic.

Our company has always taken the stance of "no unauthorized traffic" so as not to damage the customer's trust in the toll road business. We will continue to take a resolute attitude toward illegal traffic and will actively cooperate with police investigations to tackle illegal traffic.

For illegal tolls by the suspect, we will add a surcharge (twice the amount exempted) to the illegally exempted toll and charge three times the illegally exempted toll.

  • Due to the revision of the Road Improvement Special Measures Law on October 1, 2005, for drivers of cars and other vehicles that pass through toll gates in violation of the method of passage (authorized by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) established by the Expressway company. Therefore, criminal penalties will be imposed.
