The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched India's first multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) tolling system at Choryasi toll plaza on National Highway 48, which connects Surat and Bharuch in Gujarat. On its inaugural day, the system facilitated the passage of over 41,500 vehicles, marking a significant advancement in toll collection technology. The MLFF system eliminates traditional toll barriers, allowing vehicles to move freely and reducing congestion. It relies on Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras and FASTag-based electronic toll collection for efficient processing. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) emphasizes the need for users to maintain adequate balance in their FASTag accounts to ensure smooth transactions. Failure to do so may result in electronic notices for non-payment, with penalties that could double the normal toll fee. This innovative approach is expected to enhance travel efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and lower emissions on national highways.
