The National Highway Authority of India keeps making rules from time to time so that more time is not wasted at the toll plaza and people do not face any problem. This is the reason why FASTag ( Fastag compulsory by NHAI ) has been made mandatory on all vehicles.
Along with this, crores of rupees came in the treasury of the government only because of this order that all vehicles must have FASTag. For this everyone had to buy a sticker and put this sticker on the front windscreen of the vehicle. Scanning through this sticker is easy and vehicles will not have to stand for toll.
For this, big promises were made and facilities were given. Well, there is a government, orders have to be obeyed. Whether you want to or not. So thousands of people emptied their pockets without wanting to and put FASTag on all vehicles as per the orders of the government. The government will have to give you money if you have to walk on the road.
Many people also had to say that the government should construct new highways. Along with this, new expressways should be built. Many people have been angry with the governments that why the existing highways were converted into toll roads. That is, the thing which was being used by paying road tax now had to pay toll tax and FASTag along with road tax. Is.
Till now it was fine but the inconvenience continued till now that one has to wait for half an hour at the toll plaza. The claims of the government are rejected here and the government is being exploited in the name of convenience. It is a different matter that the government is not unaware of the problems being faced at the toll plaza. On behalf of the government, it is clearly indicated to the toll plaza operators that people should not face any kind of problem. For this, from the officers of the toll plaza to the contractors, it has been directed that every vehicle should cross the toll plaza without any hassle.
NHAI’s order to control the line of vehicles at toll plazas
The National Highway Authority has made some rules to control the queue of vehicles on the toll plaza and to keep the toll plaza personnel agile. Do you know that the National Highways Authority has ordered not to allow a vehicle to wait for more than 10 seconds at any toll plaza while traveling on the highway. This order also applies during peak hours.
Yellow line rule at toll plaza
Along with this, a provision has also been given that no line of more than 100 meters should be installed under any circumstances. And if this happens, then the government has ordered that until the line is reduced to 100, then all the vehicles inside that line will be allowed to pass the toll without stopping.
The government has ordered that a yellow line should be made on the toll of every highway to mark the distance of 100 meters from the toll in this way. It is also a clear order that the toll plaza operator should immediately take action to finish the line when the line is set up. From February 2021, 100 percent cashless transactions have been implemented on tolls. Because FASTag is being used at 96 percent toll plazas.
When the order was given, in the order of the National Highways Authority of May 26, 2021, it has also been said that the toll plaza will have to take care that no vehicle should hit any toll for more than 10 seconds. Some people say that in case of not doing so, the driver can take the vehicle even without paying toll.
At the same time, there is a possibility of relaxation in this rule to maintain distance during the Corona period. But, now Corona is gone. And now orders with normal conditions have been implemented everywhere. Read detailed order here
