Do I need to take a card when driving a green passage vehicle on the highway?
2 Answers
Driving a green passage vehicle on the highway does not require taking a card. Definition of highway: A highway, abbreviated as expressway, refers to a road specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. Advantages of highways: Increase driving speed, save travel time; enhance traffic efficiency; reduce transportation costs; decrease traffic accidents; save land resources. Disadvantages of highways: High construction costs, ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions per kilometer; environmental impact; longer construction periods, with overall construction requirements much higher than ordinary roads; once a traffic accident occurs, it is usually more severe, and traffic congestion is harder to disperse.
When transporting fresh agricultural products via the expressway green channel, as a frequent cargo hauler, I must emphasize that you must take a toll card at the entrance. This isn't for charging fees but to record your entry point, making it easier for staff to verify at the exit whether your cargo qualifies for the exemption. Having operated green channel vehicles for years, I know the policy is fee-free, but taking the card is standard procedure. Your cargo must be on the approved list, such as fresh vegetables or fruits, with a loading volume of at least 80%. If the exit inspection confirms eligibility, no payment is required. Don’t forget to carry a cargo manifest for potential checks—some entry stations may simplify the process, but don’t risk skipping it. If issues arise and you’re mistakenly charged, the loss could be significant. The process isn’t complicated; just cooperate with the staff. The key is ensuring your vehicle details match to avoid disputes.
