NEXCO EAST Niigata Branch (Niigata City Chuo Ward) will implement a campaign to prevent ETC illegal traffic from 1 July (Saturday). The main cause of ETC illegitimate passage is forgetting to re-set up the ETC on-board unit due to expiration of the ETC card, forgetting to insert the card into the ETC in-vehicle unit, replacing the vehicle, etc. During this campaign period, we introduced the idol unit "Negicco (Negiko)" from Niigata as a campaign character to introduce the main reasons and how to deal with it when illegal traffic took place, I will call through the radio.
