The Severn TAG is a payment system for collecting bridge tolls for drivers using either the Severn Bridge Crossing or the Second Severn Crossing over the Severn Estuary between England and Wales. The system was made by Amtech but was replaced in 2008 by a new system made by (CS Eng ). To use the system, drivers must place a transponder unit (Tag) on their windscreen to identify their vehicle as they drive through the toll lane. Lanes through the toll booths are dedicated as either Tag (unstaffed), cash (staffed) or automatic coin bins. The new tags are significantly larger than the older units, and the vehicle needs to proceed further toward the barrier before they operate due to the limited area in which the reader "reads" the tag. This prevents the complication of the old system where another tag user could enter the yellow box marking behind the user at the barrier and operate the system with their tag which would then cause the barrier to stay down for the user that entered the boxed area and thus "paying" for the user in front to cross. == Severn TAG types == There are two types of Severn TAG 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= SRC Website )〕 * Season Tag This type of tag allows the user to purchase a set period of time in which you can cross an unlimited amount of times, the tag may only be used on one vehicle and is not transferable between vehicles. A saving can be made if the user makes more than 17 journeys per month in a class 1 vehicle (car) when using this type of Tag. There are different levels of payment for different classes of vehicle. * Trip Tag This type of tag is a pay-per-journey tag, useful if the user intends to make fewer than 17 journeys per month with a class 1 vehicle (car). Credit is added to an account each month by Direct Debit or by cheque. When the user passes through the toll, the amount of the toll is deducted from the account. An indication at each toll lane informs the user that their account credit is low. If there is no money in the account then the Tag is declined and the user must have to pay with cash. The trip tag is transferable between vehicles of the same class, i.e. between two cars but not a car and a truck which would evade paying for the correct type of vehicle. Both types of Tag require a £30 Deposit. If the tag is lost or stolen, a new one is issued after payment of another £30 deposit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Severn TAG」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
