Less Muck: I remember when I first started biking about 15 years ago that I was amazed at how much grease and oil accumulates on the road surface next to toll booths.It was like stopping on top of the grease trap at McDonald’s.I soon learned to pull up close to the booth, keep my right foot on the peg, and put my left foot down on the raised mini-sidewalk next to it otherwise, I’d be planting my feet in the muck.With a transponder, there’s usually no stopping at all, and certainly not right next to a booth I still try to ride through in a tire track, i.e., not in the center of the lane.While these tags are not primarily intended for motorcycles (what else is new?), there are several good reasons to use them, should you find yourself on a toll road, bridge, or tunnel that is compatible with a given system: The E-ZPass normally comes with 3M Dual Lock sticky tape for a semi-permanent mounting. They are generally designed to be mounted on the inside of the windshield of those vehicles. These RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) transponders, or “tags”, are designed primarily for cars and trucks. These are mostly along the east coast of the United States. Here in New York State, where I live, we have E-ZPass (Wikipedia).Į-ZPass is either the primary or an accepted secondary toll collection system in 14 states (“E-ZPass: Where Can I Use It?”. In the U.S., there is the TxTag in Texas, FasTrak in California and others. These include systems such as eFlow in Ireland, Telepass in Italy, and others found throughout the world. They are the used in highway transportation systems throughout the world. They’re known as “highway toll-collection transponders”.
