Is There a Toll on Highways During Mid-Autumn Festival?
2 Answers
During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, highways will charge tolls as usual, with no exemption. Below is more information about toll-free periods: 1. Toll-free periods: The four national statutory holidays—Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day—as well as the consecutive holidays determined by the State Council for these statutory holidays. 2. Toll-free vehicles: The toll-free vehicles are passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats) traveling on toll roads, including motorcycles allowed on ordinary toll roads. In terms of toll management, for small passenger vehicles eligible for toll-free passage, toll cards are generally issued at the entrance and collected at the exit for free passage.
I've seen many people asking about this, and after checking the information, I can confirm that the Mid-Autumn Festival does not qualify for free highway tolls! According to national regulations, only four major holidays—Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day—offer toll-free passage. However, the toll for regular private cars isn’t actually that high. If you’re really worried about traffic jams, I’d suggest either traveling during the early morning hours when there are fewer cars or simply avoiding the peak travel periods on the first and last days of the holiday. Oh, and by the way, getting an ETC can also give you discounts, saving you a significant amount on fuel and toll fees over time.
