CEBU CITY – Motorcycles below 400 cylinders capacity (CC) will be allowed to pass the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) starting July 1.
The Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Corp. (CCLEC) also announced that the registration and installation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) stickers for motorcycles with engine displacements from 125cc to 399cc will also begin on July 1.
The CCLEC advised the public to register their vehicles for RFID installation as CCLEX will start its transition to a cashless system for toll payments next month.
The mobile app for RFID load and reloading will be rolled out soon, the CCLEC said.
RFID registration for Class 1 to Class 3 vehicles is ongoing through the Online Registration and Appointment System (ORRAS) at cclex.com.ph.
After it opened last April 30, the CCLEC will have a gradual transition from pure cash transactions at its toll plaza to a mix of cashless before the implementation of the full electronic toll collection (ETC) system.
Starting July 1, some toll booths will have cash payment lanes while others will already be converted to RFID-enabled lanes.
CCLEX has continuously installed RFID stickers to Class 1 to 3 vehicles all in readiness for the activation of the electronic payment scheme.
As for bikers and pedestrians, they will be allowed to pass CCLEX starting next month through the dedicated sidewalk lane located on either side of the expressway for free.
CCLEC reminded motorists to drive at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour (kph). While CCLEX is designed for a maximum speed of 80 kph, CCLEC is implementing a 60 kph limit during initial operations as part of its safety measures.
Motorists are also asked not to stop at any area in the entire stretch of the facility.
