5 Regarding transfer fare adjustment due to suspension of traffic

Passengers who have flowed out of the Expressway due to suspension of traffic and then detour the general road and transfer to the same direction again, please receive the "Expressway stopover transit certificate" that you will be given with the "transfer certificate" issued IC. If you hand over the "transfer certificate" when first paying the fare after transferring at the IC that has designated inflow again within 24 hours, the toll will be adjusted according to the section used. I will.

The following table shows the ICs that issued the "transfer certificate" and the ICs that have been designated to re-enter.

Customers who use ETC do not need to receive a "transit certificate". Please use the same ETC card before and after transit, and use ETC wireless communication with both the transit certificate issuing IC and the re-entry designated IC.
