Until When is the Highway Toll-Free?

[DiArianna]

Under normal circumstances, the toll-free periods on highways are during four national statutory holidays: the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as other statutory holidays or consecutive rest days determined by the State Council's General Office documents for that year. For example, during the 2020 pandemic, highways remained toll-free for an extended period. Additional information: 1. Eligible vehicles for toll-free passage: The vehicle types eligible for toll-free highway passage are determined based on the vehicle type specified in the vehicle registration certificate. Toll-free vehicles include micro buses, sedans, small passenger cars, small off-road vehicles with seven seats or fewer, and motorcycles allowed to operate on regular toll roads. However, micro trucks, light trucks, and special-purpose vehicles are excluded. 2. Highway toll policy: According to the unified arrangement by the Ministry of Transport, starting from 00:00 on April 25, 2020, highways will comprehensively carry out full-section and full-process testing and implement normalized management. All toll highway entrance and exit lanes will transition from the current 'raised barrier' passage back to the normal 'lowered barrier' state.
