Here is the introduction to the toll-free periods on highways: 1. New Year's Day: January 1 to 3, 2021, totaling 3 days. 2. Spring Festival: February 11 to 17, totaling 7 days. 3. Qingming Festival: April 3 to 5, totaling 3 days. 4. Labor Day: May 1 to 5, totaling 5 days. 5. Dragon Boat Festival: June 12 to 14, totaling 3 days. 6. Mid-Autumn Festival: September 19 to 21, totaling 3 days. Below are the specific policies for toll-free highway travel: 1. Regulations: According to the 'Implementation Plan for Exempting Small Passenger Vehicles from Toll Fees on Major Holidays,' the toll-free periods apply during 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. Free Period: The toll-free period starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday.
As a car owner who loves road trips, I always check the free highway toll periods during holidays, especially major ones like the Spring Festival and National Day. The free period starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day. For example, last year's Spring Festival had a full seven-day toll-free period. Using a mobile app to check real-time traffic conditions helps avoid peak congestion points. It saves hundreds of yuan in toll fees, so I recommend planning your trip in advance and bringing some snacks to avoid hunger on the road. However, note that only passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer are eligible for the free toll—large buses are not included. Before traveling, check the official website to confirm the current year's policy to ensure you don’t miss out on the benefits.
