Which vehicles can use it?
On an average 15,000 vehicles pass through the toll plaza around the city of Lucknow, with about 1,000 vehicles of taxi quota and the rest private vehicles. Similar figures are also on Kanpur-Prayagraj, Kanpur-Sagar and Kanpur-Lucknow highways. The annual fastag will be available only to those vehicles whose chassis numbers will be recorded. Vehicles in which the number is not recorded will not get this facility.
Pre-booking facility
NHAI project director Pankaj Yadav said that vehicle owners can pre-book the annual fastag in advance through the highway travel app. These fastags have been activated from 12 o’clock on the night of 15 August. Once you cross the toll, the vehicle owner will get the remaining travel and facility information through SMS. In addition, it is mandatory to paste the annual fastag on the vehicle windshield. If you do not do so, the vehicle will become blacklist.
Who will have a monthly pass facility?
The vehicle owner living within a radius of 20 km from the toll plaza, who has a monthly pass, will have this facility. During this period, it will not be involved in the count of the annual fastag even after repeatedly crossing the toll. If the amount is exhausted in Monthi Pass, the annual pass will be deducted.
Applied in national highways and expressways
The benefit of this new facility will be available on the National Highways, National Expressway and Ring Road of NHAI across the country. The National Expressway on which vehicles enter from one toll plaza and go out into another, and the vehicles cannot come through other routes in the middle, entry and withdrawal will be considered a single crossing.
With the arrival of the annual fastag, the journey will now be more convenient and faster for private vehicle owners. This will save time to cross the toll and help reduce traffic jams in long distance trips.
