How long can you stay at a highway service area?

[ReidMarie]

Highway service areas do not impose time limits for rest stops, but expressways may charge overtime fees. Here is relevant information: 1. Overtime fee: The overtime fee is a nationwide highway network procedure designed to prevent illegal activities such as toll evasion by card swapping. Most expressways in the country have implemented procedures for handling overtime driving, but the time spent resting in service areas or delays due to traffic accidents can be deducted. 2. Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the minimum speed limit on China's expressways is generally 60 km/h, which already provides drivers with ample time, including rest and refueling periods. If drivers need more time for rest or are delayed due to refueling or vehicle repairs, as long as they can provide corresponding receipts or proof verified by the toll station, it will not be counted as overtime.
