There&#8217;s no cap on the number of passes, and locals don&#8217;t need one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They started using the vehicle pass because too many tourists were coming, especially when it&#8217;s a holiday season. This e-pass for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/places\/ooty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ooty<\/a> by car (or any other vehicle) helps regulate traffic flow and ensures a smoother travel experience for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re also making it simpler for drivers to pay their road fees online. This info will help them understand how much traffic the roads can take. Right now, because it&#8217;s the busy tourist season, the road from Ooty to Coimbatore is set up for traffic to go only one way until the end of May, to help with the flow and parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Must Read<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/places-to-visit-in-kodaikanal-1965\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Places to Visit in Kodaikanal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Places_in_Tamil_Nadu_require_an_E-pass\"><\/span>Which Places in Tamil Nadu require an E-pass?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu-300x184.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu-768x471.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu-326x200.jpg.webp 326w, https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu-692x425.jpg.webp 692w, https:\/\/www.theindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Valparai-Tamil-Nadu-150x92.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The e-pass required for Ooty today (and every day with the system in place) helps manage tourist numbers.
