What time is the highway free during National Day?

[OElliot]

Free access starts at 00:00 on the first day of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday. Here are the relevant regulations for free highway access: 1. The exit time from the highway is used as the criterion for determining whether it is free: If you enter the highway during the free period but exit outside the free period, it does not count as free passage; conversely, if you enter the highway outside the free period but exit during the free period, it still counts as free. 2. Requirements for the scope of vehicles eligible for free passage: The highway only provides free passage for passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), including motorcycles allowed to drive on the highway.

As someone who frequently takes family road trips during National Day, I know the toll-free period on highways starts at 00:00 on October 1st and ends at 24:00 on October 7th each year, covering the entire holiday. The exemption only applies to small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer, such as SUVs or sedans. I recommend checking traffic conditions and that year's policies a day in advance, as transportation authorities sometimes make minor adjustments to the details. When traveling with my family, we usually choose to depart on October 3rd or 4th to avoid the peak travel dates at the beginning and end, like the 1st or 7th, when there are significantly more cars on the road, leading to traffic jams. Additionally, before heading out, it’s good to do a quick check on the car to ensure the tires and fuel levels are normal, and bring water and snacks as backup. Safe driving is the most important—don’t speed just to make the toll-free window. The goal is to have a pleasant journey.

When it comes to the National Day free highway toll policy, my friends often discuss it in our group chat. The free period usually starts at 00:00 on October 1st and lasts until midnight on October 7th, a full seven days that can save a lot of money. It applies to small private vehicles, such as five-seater cars. It's advisable to avoid peak hours when traveling, like in the afternoon or on the middle dates, as it's less crowded and more relaxed. Don't forget to bring your phone or music to keep yourself entertained on the road. Download a navigation app in advance to check real-time traffic conditions and detour around congested areas. Check your car's condition to avoid minor breakdowns. Safety comes first, don't rush just because it's free.

Years of driving experience as a seasoned driver tell me that the National Day highway toll-free period runs from 00:00 on October 1st to 24:00 on October 7th. The policy applies to small passenger vehicles, while large vehicles are not exempt. It's best to avoid entering the highway right at midnight, as it might be crowded. It's advisable to check official notices to confirm the policy for the specific year and avoid misunderstandings. Safe driving is key—avoid driving while fatigued or speeding.
