Sriperumbudur toll plaza implements multi-lane free flow tolling

Motorists on the Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway can now drive through the Nemili toll plaza without stopping for boom barriers.

The Sriperumbudur toll plaza on the Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway began operating with multi-lane free flow tolling from midnight on Wednesday, according to The Hindu.

The Nemili plaza is the first on the NH48 to adopt this system, which uses gantries equipped with scanners to read FASTag cards and number plates.

This technology allows the system to automatically collect the required amount, enabling motorists to drive through the plaza without waiting at boom barriers.

The facility serves more than 1.25 lakh vehicles on a daily basis.

This is the second toll plaza in the state to receive multi-lane free flow tolling technology.
