What are the 9 types of toll-free vehicles on highways?

Highway toll-free vehicles fall into 9 categories: 1. Security motorcades at all levels; 2. Vehicles displaying police priority or special passage signs; 3. Military vehicles (including armed police vehicles), police cars from public security, procuratorate, court, and judicial departments (white license plates with red police characters, excluding provincial plates), fire trucks with fixed equipment performing emergency duties, and hospital ambulances; 4. National security agency vehicles displaying "Special Pass" signs (or showing investigation certificates while on duty) and "National Security GA33.XX" signs; 5. Vehicles meeting the "Green Channel for Fresh Agricultural Product Transport" requirements; 6. Postal service vehicles; 7. Vehicles transporting combine harvesters; 8. Vehicles with valid official cards for the specific highway section; 9. Other temporarily toll-free vehicles under special policies.
I often drive on highways and think about those vehicles that get free passage. There are nine types of vehicles exempt from tolls on highways: police cars on emergency duties, such as chasing criminals; fire trucks rushing to fire scenes; ambulances rescuing patients; military vehicles on national defense missions; flood and drought control vehicles during disaster relief; accident response vehicles quickly arriving at crash sites; road clearance vehicles removing broken-down cars; disaster relief supply transport vehicles delivering materials; and funeral hearses on duty. These exemptions ensure public safety and prevent delays. Once stuck in traffic, I saw an ambulance speeding past toll-free, instantly feeling the warmth of the policy, reminding everyone to yield the way while driving.
