The Department of Highways (DOH) has reminded unregistered motorists who have yet to pay the toll fee for using the M-Flow gateway to do so by the end of this month.
DOH Director-General Sarawut Songwilai said the grace period for unregistered motorists to make late payments for using the M-Flow gateway will end on March 31, and urged those who have not done so to pay within the specified time frame. The department previously suspended the M-Flow fine system and returned the fines collected from motorists to alleviate public confusion. Authorities will reinstate the imposition of fines on April 1, 2022.
M-Flow is an autonomous free-flow system that makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as video-toll cameras. AI can accurately match car license plates to their owners 99 percent of the time, allowing drivers to pass through toll gates without slowing down and at a maximum speed of 120 kph. Registered users can pay the fee with a credit card or through other services using an app. Meanwhile, bills will be mailed to unregistered users’ homes, requiring them to pay within seven days or face a hefty fine.
The Director-General urged motorists to sign up for the M-Flow system, stating that the department will provide two free passes to the first 100,000 people who sign up, as well as a 20% discount on fees for three months. Motorists can register quickly and easily through its Line account: OA@mFlowthai in a process that takes only two minutes.
