How is the free expressway period calculated?

[StSara]

Calculation method for free expressway periods: Each year, expressways are toll-free during four national statutory holidays - Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day. The free period starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. The expressway toll-free policy applies to small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7-seaters), as well as motorcycles permitted on regular toll roads. According to relevant regulations, expressway tolls are calculated based on the exit time, not the entry time. If you enter the expressway one day before the free period begins but exit during the free period, no toll will be charged. However, if you exit before the free period starts, the toll will apply.
