How to use transit adjustment

<< ETC customers >>

  • Customers using ETC are requested to run the outflow designated IC wirelessly and the re-inflow designated IC wirelessly. (No transit certificate will be issued for ETC vehicles)
  • Toll charges are adjusted at the time of billing and may differ from those displayed at the tollgate.
  • Insert the same ETC card for all journeys and pass through the ETC lane at the tollgate.

<< Customers for cash, etc. >>

  • Customers who pay by cash, etc. should receive the "passage certificate" at the outflow designated IC, and then get the "passport" at the re-inflow designated IC, and then make the "transfer" at the toll booth that pays the fare first. Please give us your "certificate" and "passport".

《Common to customers such as ETC and cash》

  • If the suspension of traffic is released after the outflow designated IC is released, the fare will be adjusted even if it is re-introduced from the IC (including the outflow designated IC) in the closed road section in the forward direction.

Four. Construction overview

Joban Expressway ・ At Tomobe JCT, Kita Kanto Expressway, we will carry out paving work to repair damaged road surfaces and sign board replacement work to number sign boards. The section where this work is to be carried out is one lane, and it is not possible to carry out the work under normal lane regulations, so it is necessary to close the lamp and carry out the work. Therefore, in order not to cause any inconvenience to customers, we will close the lamps on weekday nights when there is little traffic, and carry out the construction intensively and efficiently.
This work is necessary to use Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
