5 Regarding transfer fare adjustment due to suspension of traffic

For passengers who leave the Expressway once due to a nighttime suspension and bypass the closed section and transfer again in the same direction, we will make a "transit adjustment" to adjust the toll according to the section used.

How to use transit fare adjustment

[Customers of ETC]
  • Customers using ETC are requested to run the outflow IC wirelessly and the re-inflow IC wirelessly. (“Transit certificate” will not be 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.
[Customers for cash, etc.]
  • Customers who pay in cash, etc., must receive the "transfer certificate" at the outflow IC, collect a passport at the re-inflow IC, and pass the "transfer certificate" at the toll gate that pays the fee first. Please give me your ticket.

Precautions regarding transit fare adjustment

*After canceling the suspension of traffic, the transfer fare will be adjusted even if the traffic flows in from the outflow IC.
