sir we are doing a project to automate the toll gates so that we can avoid traffic during peak hours, this is done by using RFID tags which is fixed to vehicles of regular users such that they need not stop as amount will be deducted automatically by a reader which senses the tag at a far distance itself. this method has already been implemented in other countries. we are also proposing to collect fee according to the distance travelled by user instead of paying a default amount for vehicles. please reply me the existing method now at toll gates at ECR which will be useful for my project
Hello Sir:
As you talked about RFID technology. I appreciate the effort of RFID will reduce the traffic flow. I do have another technology that is very feasible for the daily commuters. I would like to meet the technology team of your tollgate company. I would like to have a meeting where I can make things for you very simple. Please email me at [protected]@gmail.com. I work at IIT madras as a project associate.
Thank you,
Vikram Chowdhari

Hi,
I work for a Software Industry located @ Siruseri sipcot and travelling daily via this OMR as I am residing in Adambakkam. First of all I wud like to understand why we are paying for the Roads even after paying accurate income every year as we so called Salaried employees. As a citizen are we not previlaged to use these road without paying money???? that too Rs 35 for up & down..which is almost a litre of Diesel for which we drive another 16 to 18kms... I hope you are adopting the policy or methodolgy from the country like US . They do collect Toll but thats just 50cents and their avg income of an IT person wud be 5000$ and also if there is a road with TOll then they have an alternate road with out toll with lesser infrastructure. But here, we are forced to use the OMR and also there is no alternate road so we are forced to pay our hard earned money. First of all, Government must understand that the India is economically growing becoz of their citizens like us (we contribute more in terms of paying Tax) so are we not previelaged to use this road with out paying money???if not then we should be given Tax exemptions for this expense becoz its too high for us.. more than a Rs1000 per month. And also the infrastructure is not so good as mentioned by Vikram and not safe also. Give us some valid reason for this RS 35/- per car...You may think that we stupid guys are earning more money in this IT industry but the inflation rate is going high and expense is tooo high ..still we are struggling to pay our dues for housing loan.. (There are some basic complaint abt our government too, they are not caring their citizens compared to other country like US, uk... ) we are becoming sick of paying this toll ...
Today I travelled from adambakkam to ECR link road via Thoraippakkm and gone to Siruseri via Navalur and returned back to adambakkam via Thoraipakkam gate. I was asked to pay again inspite of having return pass for Rs35/-... this is literally a robbery ..yeah robbery with authorization...I need explanationfor this ..hope you will not except me to pay some amount for this explanation like Toll charges...

road toll — look at toll
jalgaon-bhusawal road par toll ka last date 16/10/10 tha.but they r still collecting toll.surprisingly even policemen are also part of this looting process.they r sitting there and everything goes under their nose.govt has announced closure of this toll but its still looting d public.everyone knws it but authorities r doing nothing may b becoz they r being benefited.can anyone do anything? shouldnt they b punished?
I agree with Gopi's statements. We need a breakdown and explainations for Rs.35/-. This OMR Toll company is robbing from people... as if they have given a good quality roads and infra around it. The road between pallikaranai and thoraipakkam via Chennai one is horrible to drive.
Government is not invigilation those road conditions and caring for people paying money for no reason. Who is going to stop this? who is going to give justice for this? why should we pay money to travel within the city?

Govt should look into this asap and should ensure toll is not collected for this ultra normal roadways
Can anybody let me know, after this complaint does some has taken any action agint the Toll gate person or it just the another scarp.
Hi I am a regular user of this road since 2005. Yes, even when this so called OMR did not exist.
I travel from camp road through thoraipakkam till tiruvanmiur. Those days it used to take just 40 minutes for me to reach office. Now I almost spend the same time in signals and toll plaza waitings. Now that rains have started, things are even worse. These people are real cunning people. They have even blocked the normal village roads with Boulders that people were using before this OMR was built. I heard that there was some approval given by govement to not collect toll with in the city limits. Not sure if the GO has been passed in this aspect. Update if anyone has any infor in this reagrd.

We are paying money as Tax and too paying for using roads as well.. Isin't worth for money? The roads are not in good condition for long time and no one is looking into it and simply robbing money from public.
This is where the country we are living?

Can anyone please suggest anything that we can do to stop this toll being collected within city limit?
SIr,
The toll gate company is trying to loot, they had promised that they would give us a gate pass for the residents on OMR, they said that property registration will do, or electricity bill, or bank statement or postpaid telephone bill, but suddenly they have refused and with their rude behavior they are trying to not to make a gate pass, they want only ration caed, voter card or passport and since i am an outsider i do not have none.
It seems surprising that to get a toll pass i will have to spend a lot to get anyone of the above, can anyone help

Road are not in good condition. Particularly near toll itself. if we ask about that with toll member they asking us to call to the toll free number customer care. but these guy are collecting the fee they should be the resposible one.
The present ruling Govt opposed idea of having toll plaza at Perungudi when it started functioning. But after coming to power they didn't take any action to remove it. The road is condition is too bad near sholinganallur junction. We have to form a group and fight against it. I have also read once in Hindu that some one filed a case to remove this toll gate
I have purchase one Flat in Thalambur area which is only 1.5 Km from Navalur Junction. In that apartment 200 Families are staying and most of them are using their car. Even On that area many other apartment are also present which have 500/1000 families, all are located in 1.5 to 2.5 km away from Navalur Junction. And OMR road is the only communication option for all o[censored]s.
On daily basis, we are using Tollgate and there are 5 tollgate on that area. I had applied for Tollgate Pass in Perungudi Office. By the name of Thalambur Road itself, Officers are rejecting our application. It’s not only me, many others in our apartment are facing this issue. Now we are localized people over there and already we have Spent too much money on buying the flat . On top of this, Paying Toll charges on daily basis is really Painful. It’s really a big punishment to the peoples who is buying flat on this area.

Dear sir
The toll route from perungalathur bye pass via maduravoyal uptill redhills is horrible, and one cannot feel that u r travelling by toll road., and it is disheartening to pay toll and travel in a worst road, this is for years together and toll authorities does not bother to lay roads, but instead they have increased the charges, moreover they have installed another toll booth in redhills byepass, within 20 kms where 2 toll booths exist. Kindly lay proper roads to be eligible for toll money.

We need to start a signature campaign to close this toll plaza in Thoraipakkam. why should we have toll plaza within city. Government made huge money in this collection and they are not bothered to fix the Velachery Taramani road. Every day it is pain to travel through the route by two wheeler or by car.
logic single trip or single ticket adopting system by ITEL TOLL PLAZA CHENNAI
I often visited chennai Rajiv Gandhi salai Thoraipakkam . IT corridor . I can not understand and know the following reason for controversy unfair payment charge for system adopted in itel toll plazas OMR OR IT CORRIDOR.
For a single trip or ticket a vehicle allowed one entry from originating toll one exit in all other any one 4 plazas until the day Midnight valid
but the same time any vehicle make an entry and an exit same originating toll plaza without passing any other toll plaza exits they consider as a return trip .(until the midnight)
that is itel say 2 trips. Then same plaza exit also they charge additional one trip charges
if we make originating plaza near an u turn also they consider 2 trips.
This is very unfair system as well as we need explanation for this unfair system.
Kindly explain how this charges fair in any logic manner . If any Govt G.O announcing like that kindly give the details .
