Taiwan Highway Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) is used to electronically collect tolls on national freeways in Taiwan. All tolls are collected electronically by overhead gantries, not at traditional toll booths. Taiwan is the first country to switch from manual tolling to all electronic, multi-lane free flow tolling on all of its freeways. The fees are based on the distance traveled by a driver daily. For each vehicle, the first traveled each day is free, after which drivers of small vehicles are charged NT$1.20 per up to , and then NT$0.90 per kilometer above 200 kilometers. eTag users enjoy a 10% discount. Taiwan is the first country to transfer from flat-rate toll stations to distance-based pay-as-you-go tolling system on all of its freeways. It has the longest ETC freeway mileage in the world. ==History== The first toll station was built in Taishan on Freeway 1 with manual toll collecting in July 1974. Manual toll collection lasted until the end of 2003, at which point there were 23 toll stations on eight national freeways, with an average distance of between toll stations. Each toll station had 5–11 toll gates in each direction, and a flat rate was charged between toll stations. Exact change toll gates were introduced in February 1983, and toll gates that accepted toll tickets were introduced in December 1996. In February 2005, ETC gates at toll stations were launched. In December 2013, the old toll stations were replaced by the distance-based pay-as-you-go all electronic toll collection on all of Taiwan’s major freeways. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Electronic Toll Collection (Taiwan)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
