[David]

During four national statutory holidays each year—Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, May Day Labor Day, and National Day—expressway tolls will be waived. Below are details about the free expressway periods in 2012 and 2015: 1. 2012: On September 12, 2012, multiple provinces including Hebei, Hunan, Inner Mongolia, and Sichuan successively disclosed their free toll policies. Local regulations were largely based on the emergency notice issued by the Ministry of Transport on September 5, 2012, aligning with its requirements regarding toll-free periods, methods, and scope. According to the Ministry of Transport's document, during the 2013 Spring Festival, the nationwide toll-free period for small passenger vehicles on expressways was uniformly set from 00:00 on February 9 to 24:00 on February 15, with toll booths lifting barriers without issuing cards for free passage. 2. 2015: The 2015 toll-free expressway period was confirmed, totaling 20 days. (1) Spring Festival: from 00:00 on February 18 (New Year's Eve) to 24:00 on February 24 (the sixth day of the lunar new year), totaling seven days; (2) Qingming Festival: from 00:00 on April 4 to 24:00 on April 6, totaling three days; (3) Labor Day: from 00:00 on May 1 to 24:00 on May 3, totaling three days; (4) National Day: from 00:00 on October 1, 2015, to 24:00 on October 7, totaling seven days.
