Please use an ETC vehicle. Vehicles without an ETC on-board unit cannot be used.
If you accidentally enter an ETC toll gate when you cannot use ETC (e.g., because the ETC on-board unit is not installed or the ETC card is not inserted), do not back up; instead, go through the lane marked "ETC/Support" or "Support", stop temporarily, and follow the on-site signs and instructions of the attendants.
