The difference is that the fine is ten times that of the Department of Highways. Charged in the event that users who are not members of M-Flow do not pay for the service on time, it must be said that it’s like a robbery in the sun. Plus, the bank’s clearing system that cuts service fees has problems with being charged once more. Not counting the alternation of lanes of the car entering the M-Flow lane, causing heavy traffic jams, etc.
These problems are all things that have happened before with the EasyPass system.

Mr. Sarawut Songsiwilai Director-General of the Department of Highways (TLS) explains the advantages of the M-Flow system that it is designed to support the speed while the car can pass through 1 20 km / h, which is the same speed as specified in the motorway route. The advantage is that the car that passes does not have to slow down when passing the checkpoint. The M-Flow channel can support 2,500 cars/hr / 1 slot, so the number of 4 slots can support 10,000 cars/hr. causing no problems with traffic jams During the rush hour on Motorway Route 9, the traffic volume is approximately 12,000 cars/hour.

Although the purpose of designing the M-Flow system to facilitate road users, how good would it be? But starting to actually use it has various problems. The Department of Highways must place cones to organize traffic systems near the new entrance lanes. which since the opening of the service until now People are still confused regarding accessing M-Flow and traditional fee payment methods. In particular, M-PASS and EASY PASS card users complain that the traffic is very heavy. because the lane was merged with general cars and ten-wheel trucks In addition, the communication signs are confusing and unclear. causing serious traffic jams in front of the checkpoint Not to mention that there are still a number of cars running through the M-Flow channel without being subscribed. Which is partly caused by changing lanes back and forth, causing them to be implicitly squeezed into the M-Flow channel.
Problems with the Department of Highways’ M-Flow system cause Mr. Surachet Laopoolsuk The Governor of the Expressway Authority of Thailand (EXAT) has instructed officers to collect problems arising following the Office of the Metropolitan Water Authority of Thailand opened the M-Flow system on Motorway Route 9, a total of 4 checkpoints, in full. to be used as a lesson for EXAT to improve and close various weaknesses before EXAT will open the M-Flow service in phase 1 around May 2022 piloted on the Chalong Rat Expressway at 3 checkpoints, consisting of Chatuchot Toll Plaza, Sukhaphiban 5-1 Toll Plaza and Sukhaphiban 5 Toll Plaza. 2
For the introductory lesson at CAAT took off from the user’s echoes, found that registering for the M-Flow service was quite difficult. Inadequate public relations, resulting in a lack of awareness, therefore, EXAT has to speed up to create more awareness because the expressway has quite a lot of service users. Agree that the changes in the early stages will cause problems. Before EXAT opens the service, M-Flow will launch a virtual test system around March – April 2022 in order to avoid problems when actually using the service. Channels for payment via EasyPass card and cash will be launched in parallel with M-Flow first.
At present, there are approximately 1.9 million expressway users per day, of which approximately 800,000 people use EasyPass per day, out of a total of approximately 2 million EasyPass cardholders. Easy Pass card users Register for M-Flow membership to use the M-Flow system on motorway number 9.
In addition, EXAT is still in the process of adjusting the system to integrate information that will allow Easy Pass card users. You can subscribe to M-Flow without re-registration. No hassle, just a few clicks. EXAT will use the original information and documents of existing EasyPass users as much as possible to make it simple and convenient.
It’s best to clean any non-flowing M-Flow images before activating the service.
