The Transport Ministry plans to implement a nationwide electronic tolling system to combat lost revenue and modernize collections. Minister Felix Mhona announced the initiative, envisioning a network using cameras, RFID tags, and 5G connectivity to allow payments without vehicles stopping.
This push for all-electronic tolling aims to increase transparency and direct more funds toward road maintenance, alongside reducing traffic congestion. The recent expansion of the Norton toll plaza on the Harare-Bulawayo highway is part of this broader effort, which also includes a new program to station emergency medical teams at major plazas for faster crash response.
