How to use transit adjustment
ETC customers
- For customers using ETC, please drive wirelessly at designated outflow ICs, and also wirelessly drive at re-inflow ICs. (Transfer certificates are not issued for ETC vehicles)
- ETC time zone discount will be applied, considering the transited journey as one.
Toll charges are adjusted at the time of billing, so they may differ from those displayed at the toll gate. - Insert the same ETC card for all journeys and pass through the ETC lane at the tollgate.
Customers such as cash
- Customers paying with cash, etc. should receive a "transfer certificate" at the outflow designated IC, then take a "transit ticket" at the re-inflow IC, and then take the "transition certificate" at the toll booth where they pay the toll for the first time. Please hand over your ``book'' and ``traffic ticket.''
Common to ETC and cash customers
- If the suspension of traffic is released after the outflow designated IC is released, the fare will be adjusted even if it is re-introduced from the IC (including the outflow designated IC) in the closed road section in the forward direction.
Four. Construction overview
Ken-O Road Pavement work will be carried out between the Bando IC and Inashiki IC on the inside/outside route, in conjunction with the four-lane roadway conversion. In order to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the road during the nighttime on weekdays when traffic volume is low, and implement the construction work in an intensive and efficient manner. We ask for your understanding and cooperation in order for you to use Expressway safely and comfortably.
- Between Bando IC and Joso IC, and between Ami Higashi IC and Inashiki IC, lane operation will be changed due to construction work to widen the road to four lanes.
