The memo adds that “This ban on the use of TAG is generated based on the current economic situation of our Municipality, since the accounts are unpaid, therefore and by virtue of the powers of the different Concessionaires it is possible that these devices are blocked, in each highway indistinctly and without informing us, for which each entry to a highway with a blocked TAG device generates an infringing toll charge and a fine of 1 UTM (NOTE: $ 51,029 during this month) in the Local Police Court for the portico “.
The memo continues by noting that “Each Directorate is hereby informed and by virtue of this instruction, if eventual fines are generated, each driver will be responsible for the additional fines and charges”.
The communication ends like this (SIC): “It should be noted that this prohibition does not apply to leased vehicles and that the accounts started for the 2021 budget will be lifted once a day.”
