Taxes are paid to everything around us. The government collects toll taxes at toll plazas, where the vehicle needs to stop and pay the tax to travel any further. In the fiscal year 2021, approximately 15000 crores were collected as toll tax. Even though the existing toll collection has reduced the waiting time near the toll plaza, there are problems associated with it. As the number of vehicles passing through the toll plaza increases, so does the traffic near the plaza. Access to the emergency lane is limited to ambulances and VIPs, but there is no option for the common person who is in a hurry or has an emergency to use the emergency lane near the toll plaza. Our focus is to provide an option for the common people to use the emergency lane or to skip the traffic near the toll plaza. To provide this option, we use an automatic number plate recognition system with the additional feature of pre-booking toll tickets. This system addresses the issue of the vehicle owner who is in an emergency and does not have the option to skip the queue near the toll plaza.
