Uttar Pradesh to Introduce Barrier-Free Tolling at 11 Plazas Using MLFF System
Uttar Pradesh plans to implement the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system at 11 toll plazas, allowing vehicles to pass without stopping by using RFID and Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) aims to reduce congestion and streamline toll collection with this barrier-free system. New NHAI guidelines also standardize toll lane requirements for highways, reducing the number of lanes needed due to the efficiency of MLFF technology.
