		Also, for mainline toll plazas all ETC dedicated lanes should be clustered to the left in the toll plaza since the left lane is understood to be the lane where motorists travel at higher speeds.
		Dedicated ETC lanes within a conventional plaza should be separated from the cash lanes by the use of both pavement markings and either channelizers or barriers that extend upstream of the plaza to the approximate point where approaching vehicle speeds drop below 30 mph during off peak hours.
