<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need electronic TAG to drive on Persian Gulf Highway - but it offers significant time savings on the Tehran-Qom section. Also known as Freeway 7, this major north-south corridor connects Tehran to central Iran with plans to extend to the Persian Gulf via Shiraz.</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> The Tehran-Qom section features both electronic toll collection and traditional cash booths. Electronic payment eliminates queuing but requires pre-registration, while cash payment remains universally available but may involve delays during peak periods.</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;">2025 Update:</strong> Tehran-Qom toll rates increased dramatically to 15,000 tomans (650% increase from 2,000 tomans) in November 2024. Isfahan-Shiraz freeway section opened October 2023, with the Isfahan-Izadkhast gap still under planning.</p>

<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #a2a9b1; padding-bottom: 2px;">Persian Gulf Highway Toll Costs: Current Rates</h2>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Persian Gulf Highway operates as Freeway 7, Iran's strategic north-south corridor connecting Tehran to central Iran and planned extension to the Persian Gulf.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 20px 0 10px 0;">Current Toll Rates by Section (2025)</h3>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I drive from Tehran to Shiraz on Persian Gulf Highway?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Not entirely on a single freeway yet. You can drive Tehran to Zarrinshahr (near Isfahan) on Freeway 7, then must use traditional roads for the Isfahan-Izadkhast gap, then continue on the Isfahan-Shiraz Freeway to Shiraz. The missing link is under planning.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Why did Tehran-Qom tolls increase so dramatically?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The government cited years without rate adjustments and substantial infrastructure maintenance costs. Toll rates had remained at 2,000 tomans for several years while construction and maintenance expenses increased significantly.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">When will the Isfahan-Izadkhast gap be completed?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Construction has not yet started. The section is currently in the planning phase. Only 7 kilometers have been completed beyond the Zarrinshahr junction where Freeway 7 currently ends.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can foreign visitors use TAG electronic payment?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">TAG system access may be limited for foreign visitors due to registration requirements with Iranian authorities. Cash payment at toll booths remains the most accessible option for international travelers.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What airports does Persian Gulf Highway serve?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The highway directly serves Imam Khomeini International Airport south of Tehran and provides access to Isfahan Airport. It's a major route for travelers heading to central and southern Iran destinations.</p>
