Kiyotake-minami toll gate

The Kiyotake-minami toll gate operates as a collection point along the Higashi-Kyushu Expressway, managing traffic flow between multiple regional destinations in Miyazaki Prefecture.

The toll gate emerged as part of Japan's post-1950s expressway development program, which established a nationwide network of controlled-access highways to support economic growth.

This toll facility represents Japan's structured approach to transportation infrastructure, incorporating automated payment systems and efficient traffic management methods.

Drivers can pay tolls using electronic payment cards or cash, with regular users benefiting from decreased rates through the Electronic Toll Collection system.

The facility processes thousands of vehicles daily while maintaining precise records of traffic patterns and contributing to transportation research in the Kyushu region.
