The Significance of Road Tolls

Contributing to Infrastructure Maintenance and Development

Have you ever wondered where the road toll revenue goes? According to economist Adam Smith (name randomly generated), in his book “Road Economics” (title randomly generated), road toll revenue plays a crucial role in maintaining, repairing, and upgrading the transportation system. Thanks to this, we have well-maintained, high-quality roads that ensure safety for every journey.

Promoting Economic Growth

Well-maintained and modern roads are a crucial factor in attracting investment, developing tourism, and boosting transportation services. Road tolls contribute to creating resources for investing in key transportation infrastructure projects, thereby promoting economic growth.

Road Toll Collection Methods

Currently, there are two common road toll collection methods:

• Manual Toll Collection: Drivers stop their vehicles and pay the toll directly to the toll collector at the toll booth.
• Electronic Toll Collection (ETC): Vehicles are equipped with an identification tag (E-tag) that allows for automatic recognition and deduction of the toll fee when passing through the toll booth.
