 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, FASTag is mandatory for all vehicles using Meghalaya's toll roads, though cash payment is still accepted at toll plazas. The state has limited toll infrastructure with only one major toll plaza on NH44, making toll payment straightforward for travelers.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> With only the Lomshinong toll plaza operational on NH44, toll costs in Meghalaya are relatively low compared to other Indian states. Most travelers pay between ₹50-200 depending on vehicle type.</p>

 +
 
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I avoid Meghalaya tolls completely?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, alternative routes via state highways avoid the Lomshinong toll plaza, but these routes may take longer and have different road conditions. NH44 provides the most direct connection between Shillong and Assam.</p>
 +
 
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there toll plazas on other highways in Meghalaya?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, currently only NH44 has toll infrastructure. Most state highways, including routes to popular destinations like Cherrapunji and Mawlynnong, remain toll-free.</p>
 +
 
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do motorcycles pay tolls in Meghalaya?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Motorcycles are generally exempted from toll payments at most Indian toll plazas, including Meghalaya. However, verify current policies as they may change.</p>
 +
 
 +
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happens if I don't pay Meghalaya tolls?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Non-payment results in penalties and potential legal action. Cash lanes are still available, making payment straightforward even without FASTag.</p>

 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, monthly passes for non-commercial vehicles offer significant savings, especially for residents within 20km of the toll plaza. Special rates apply for local users.</p>
