Seven days to pay E-toll
Motorists have seven days, of passing under a gantry, where they are legally obligated to pay their E-toll accounts.
This is according to Vusi Mona, spokesperson for Sanral.
He says that motorists will receive a consolidated tax invoice and statement twice a month through their preferred method of contact.
“There are two different E-toll payment options available, namely, pre-paid account and the credit card settlement account.
“Sanral would like to reiterate that the majority of Gauteng road users are law abiding citizens who will pay for the benefits if using the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) roads.”
He adds that the violation processing is self-funding through the higher toll tariff (alternate rate) that applies to those who do not pay their toll costs within the seven days.
E-tag
With recent reports that four in 10 vehicles have cloned licence plates, Sanral suggests fitting your vehicle with an E-tag.
“Duplicate or cloned number plates will be picked up by the E-toll system, because an E-tag is registered to one number plate only,” says Mona.
He adds that as the E-tag is unique and linked to a specific vehicle licence plate number, it helps to prevent fraud and the use of duplicate number plates.
