Motorway Users Without M-Tags to Face 25% Extra Toll Charges

Electronic Toll System Enforced

In a bid to streamline traffic flow and promote digital toll collection, the National Highway Authority (NHA) has announced that motorway users without M-Tags will now have to pay an additional 25% toll fee. This policy aims to encourage the adoption of M-Tags, reducing congestion and manual toll collection inefficiencies.

Key Details of the New Policy

• Implementation Date: The surcharge policy is now in effect across all major motorways.
• Benefits of M-Tags: Faster transactions, reduced traffic congestion, and enhanced security.
• Penalty for Non-M-Tag Users: A 25% higher toll fee as a deterrent for those avoiding electronic payment systems.
• Easy M-Tag Registration: Available online and at motorway entry points for convenience.
• Public Reaction: Mixed responses, with some supporting digital transformation while others cite financial constraints.

Authorities believe this step will improve motorway efficiency, but many travelers have expressed concerns over accessibility and affordability of M-Tags.
