What is a safety passage
This is an underground passageway that is constructed by cutting the road to avoid accidents when a toll gate employee crosses the ETC lane.

[Traffic method when exit ETC lane is closed]
Please stop at the general lane and hand the "ETC card" to the toll gate staff. When the discount conditions are met, time zone discounts (commuting, late night) and various mileage discounts will be applied.

  • Time zone discounts (commuting, midnight) are applicable only when "equipped with onboard device" and "ETC card" payment.
  • If the ETC lane is closed at the entrance to the Asari Toll Gate, you will receive the entrance ticket and an "entrance ticket" will be sent to the toll gate staff at the exit general lane saying that ETC was not available at the entrance toll gate. Please hand over the "ETC card". If you wish to apply the discount, please kindly notify the toll gate staff.
  • In order to apply the discount for persons with disabilities, in addition to the "ETC card" and "entrance ticket (when you receive the entrance ticket at the Asari Toll Gate)", you will need to show your "Disability Certificate" in the general lane at the exit.
