The computer misread license plates on vehicles travelling in the tunnel and the nearby Falcon Street Gateway for five months, from March to August this year.

The company released a statement saying they were working with affected motorists to resolve the issue. The company suggested several factors contributed to the error

“Misreads during this process can be attributed to non-standard registration plate frames and obstructions such as tow bars and non-standard numbers.”
