Johnston says electronic toll collection will be introduced to reduce traffic congestion on highways

Highways Minister Johnston Fernando today said that action would be taken to introduce electronic toll collection (ETC) at expressways to help alleviate traffic congestion, reduce delay, fuel consumption, and vehicle emissions.

 

Minister Fernando said that ETCs are currently installed at the Colombo - Katunayake Expressway and they would be introduced to other toll collection centres and inter-changes soon.

 

I instructed officials to redeploy them to counters so that it could help speed up the MTC process till we introduce ETCs to all roads.” he said in this regard.
