in the Salik System. Such Vehicles will be registered under the User’s account,

Any balance remaining in the User’s account will
be forfeited if not used within three (3) years from the date of the last

cover the Traffic Toll fees;

and a deduction of the toll amount from the balance available in the account.
A subscriber to the Salik System who does not
have a sufficient credit balance in his account will be granted a grace period

balance available in the account.
Irrespective of the number of repetitions of
the violation on a single day, the daily fine on any Vehicle passing through Traffic
Toll Gates without a Tag will be as follows:
