One Way Tolls – Non-Stop Go | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

India has allocated almost over Rs.20,000 Cr towards Road development in the year 2012-13 alone. Most roads already have tolls to provide for partial recovery of this expenditure. These tolls, apart from the collections, also cut down the throughput speed with which one can move on highways introducing a waiting time of almost 3-4 minutes each way. This paper discusses a comparison of international toll booths and how most of them have migrated to a one way toll collection and thereby cutting down this 3-4 minutes wait by over 75%, thereby saving precious time, fuel consumption and collection costs, while keeping revenue collections intact. This is therefore going to reduce the overall public expenditure, public discomfort while keeping the state revenue intact.
