2 Answers
Highway tolls are charged during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Related information: 1. Overview: The highway toll-free periods are during the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day. These are the national statutory holidays and the consecutive holidays determined by the State Council's official documents for that year. 2. Relevant regulations: According to the "Implementation Plan for Exempting Small Passenger Vehicles from Toll Fees on Major Holidays," the toll-free periods on expressways in 2021 are during the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, totaling four national statutory holidays. During these holidays, highways are toll-free for passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats).
I often drive for trips during holidays, and the topic of highway tolls during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is worth mentioning. Generally speaking, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not included in the national list of toll-free holidays. Only during the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day holidays are highways toll-free. However, policies may change. In some years, if the Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the National Day holiday, there might be toll-free arrangements. It's advisable to check the Ministry of Transport's official website or news apps for the latest announcements before traveling. Don't forget, holiday traffic is heavy, so it's best to start early to avoid peak hours. I've driven a few times on Mid-Autumn Festival nights and noticed that the lighting can be dim or there might be more congestion. Safety is the top priority—drive slower and pay attention to the vehicles in front and behind you. This way, you can ensure a fun trip without any delays. If you have any other questions, consulting a car repair shop is also a reliable option.
