About arrest of unauthorized passers who do not pay toll
The first document inspection of a forced breakthrough in Saitama prefecture

On December 7, Saitama Prefectural Police filed a suspected violation of the Road Maintenance Special Measures Act for an illegal passer-by who ran away without paying the toll fee at the Hanyu toll booth at Tohoku Expressway I announced that I was sent.

This is the first arrest for a forced breakthrough in Saitama Prefecture.

The Road Maintenance Special Measures Law was amended in accordance with the privatization of 4 road-related corporations on October 1, 2005, and it violates the traffic method established by the Expressway company (authorized by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) and passes through toll gates. Criminal punishment will be imposed on the driver of the car or other vehicle.

This arrest was arrested by a police officer who was being deployed near the tollgate because the suspect ran away without paying the fee at the tollgate without the consent of the toll collector.

Up until now, we have been working with a strong stance of “don't allow unauthorized traffic” by using unauthorized traffic surveillance cameras, etc. so as not to damage customers' trust in toll roads. We believe that the detection of suspects who pass the traffic will ensure fairness in the toll burden and deter unauthorized traffic.

Going forward, we will continue to take a strict and resolute attitude toward unauthorized traffic from both civil and criminal responsibilities.

In addition, the suspect in this case will be charged a surcharge (twice the amount exempted) to the illegally exempted toll, and will be charged three times the illegal exempted toll.
