RFID-only lanes

Motorists passing through RFID-only designated lanes with insufficient load for the third time will be penalized effective May 15, 2021. The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) approved to implement a three-strike policy in which repeat offenders/violators by RFID subscribers without load or insufficient load or by motorists without RFID tags entering RFID-only designated lanes shall be penalized.

This is said to facilitate transactions at the RFID toll lanes and avoid long queues. Moreover, the DOTr, through the TRB, has assured that the three-strike policy in cashless tollway lanes will take effect only after toll operators are adequately prepared in terms of RFID implementation.
