4. How to use ETC toll gates

Please use an ETC vehicle. Vehicles without an ETC on-board unit cannot be used.
If you mistakenly use an ETC toll gate when ETC is not available (ETC on-board unit not installed, ETC card not inserted, etc.), do not back up; instead, go through the lane marked "ETC/Support" or "Support", stop temporarily, and follow local signs and instructions from attendants.
When ETC lanes are closed due to facility inspections, etc., ETC-equipped vehicles should also use the support lanes.
For details on how to use the service, please visit NEXCO EAST official website "DraPla."
