However, this stop of toll collection has not yet been approved by the local government because the matter is being investigated and handled. Many people, especially North-South freight transport businesses, are very concerned about this issue, because if the stop to toll collection is not applied, they will have to continue to pay fees for a service that is causing problems. lots of trouble and no quality assurance.
North-South freight business owners are facing many difficulties in transporting goods on the National Highway 1 route, especially in the situation that the road is not safe for traffic. If this situation continues, especially when the rainy season is approaching, traffic congestion and traffic accidents may occur at many sections of this road.
Therefore, the temporary stop of toll collection is an urgent solution to ensure the safety of vehicles participating in traffic on the National Highway 1. North-South freight business owners are looking forward to seeing local authorities and road management agencies soon have solutions to overcome this situation and ensure safety for road users.
