The revised rates will apply from Monday, 7 August 2006. Details of the revised ERP rates by vehicle types are at Annexes 1 to 6. These rates incorporate the reductions in shoulder periods implemented on 4 February 2003. The rates for the other gantries will remain unchanged.

ERP Rate Review Criteria

LTA reviews the traffic conditions on the expressways and roads in the Restricted Zone (RZ) and Radial Roads where the ERP system is in operation, every quarterly and for the June and December school holidays.

Following each review, the ERP rates will be adjusted where necessary. This is to achieve optimal traffic flow on our expressways and roads, by maintaining a speed range of 45km/h to 65km/h for expressways and 20km/h to 30 km/h for arterial roads.

Next ERP Rate Review

The next revision of ERP rates will take place in November 2006 for the Fourth Quarterly ERP Rate Review.
