when driving a motorcycle equipped with a motorcycle-specific etc through the etc entrance of an expressway, you should drive safely at the speed limit specified on the toll road lane; when passing through the etc entrance of a toll road, the etc-specific lane equipment communicates with the motorcycle-specific etc to determine whether the toll station allows the motorcycle to enter. if the etc-specific lane barrier at the toll station is not raised, it is recommended that the rider cooperate with the on-site staff to handle it.
