中ちゅう日本にっぽん高速こうそく道路どうろ ETCシステム障害しょうがい 7都県とけんの一部いちぶレーン利用りようできず

Due to a system malfunction, the ETC-only lanes at some toll booths on expressways in seven prefectures, including Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Aichi, have been unavailable since the early hours of the 6th.

There is no prospect for recovery, it is said.

According to Central Nippon Expressway Company, from around 12:30 AM on the 6th, due to a system failure of the ETC, the ETC-only lanes at some toll booths on the Chuo Expressway and Tomei Expressway became unusable.

<br><br>Additionally, the same issue was identified at some smart interchanges, which have been closed

<br><br>As of 7:30 AM, the affected areas include Tokyo, Kanagawa, Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu, and Mie prefectures.<br>▽Chuo Expressway<br>▽Tomei Expressway<br>▽Shin-Tomei Expressway<br>▽Shin-Meishin Expressway<br>▽Isewangan Expressway<br>▽Kisei Expressway<br>▽Tokai-Kanjo Expressway<br>▽Tomeihan Expressway<br>▽Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway<br>▽Chubu-Odan Expressway<br>▽Higashi-Fuji-Goko Road.

<br>On the Chuo Expressways outbound line near the Mitaka toll booth, as of just after 2 a.m., there was a traffic jam extending about 2 kilometers to the toll booth, with both lanes of the outbound line forming long queues of passenger cars and trucks.

<br>It means that you can pass through the regular lanes with attendants on any highway.

<br><br>However, there is a traffic jam at the toll gate exit, and since the cause of the system failure is unknown, there is no prospect for recovery.

At the toll gate, attendants are handling the general lanes.<br>At the Kofu Showa Interchange toll gate on the Chuo Expressway in Yamanashi Prefecture, the ETC-only exit lane was closed shortly after 4 a.m. on the 6th, and attendants were handling the situation in the general lanes.

<br><br>We received the ETC card from the driver of the car that entered the highway using ETC and settled the usage fee.
