1 Answers
Pickup trucks are not exempt from toll fees during the Spring Festival on highways. Pickup trucks are classified as dual-purpose vehicles for passengers and cargo and are not included in the toll-free policy. On July 24, 2012, the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for Exempting Small Passenger Vehicles from Toll Fees on Major Holidays." The plan stipulates that toll-free periods apply during four national statutory holidays: the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as the consecutive holidays determined by the State Council for these statutory holidays. Below are specific details about highways: Toll Standards for Highways: Both 5-seat and 7-seat family vehicles are charged according to the Class 1 vehicle standard. The toll rate for four-lane highways is 0.45 yuan per kilometer, while for six-lane and above highways, it is 0.6 yuan per kilometer. Highway Distribution: Currently, China has 36 national highway routes, including 7 capital radial lines, 11 north-south longitudinal national highway lines, and 18 east-west transverse national highway lines. China ranks first in the world in terms of highway mileage.
