Highway toll-free policy started during the National Day holiday in 2012. Here are the relevant details about the highway toll-free policy: 1. Toll-free periods: Certain statutory holidays. The toll-free policy applies to four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day. 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 (for ordinary highways, the toll-free period is based on the time when the vehicle passes the toll booth, while for highways, it is based on the time when the vehicle exits the toll booth). 2. Vehicles eligible for toll-free passage: Passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats) traveling on toll roads, including motorcycles allowed on ordinary toll roads.
