How are highway tolls charged?

[DominicLynn]

Highway tolls per kilometer vary due to differences in location, construction costs, and vehicle types, and are generally reviewed and published by provincial pricing and transportation authorities. For example, a newly built highway in Guangdong charges 0.45 yuan per kilometer for Class 1 vehicles, 0.68 yuan for Class 2, 0.9 yuan for Class 3, 1.35 yuan for Class 4, and 1.58 yuan for Class 5, with tolls rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 or 10 yuan. Highway toll collection methods: There are two types of highway toll collection: open and closed. Open toll collection involves receiving an IC card at the entrance toll station and paying the displayed fee at the exit toll station, commonly used on longer highways. Most intercity highways in China use this method. Closed toll collection: Closed toll collection charges a fixed fee regardless of the entry and exit points, sometimes collected at the entrance and other times at the exit, typically used on shorter highways with fewer entry and exit points.
