When does the highway become free during this year's National Day holiday?

[AliceMarie]

This year, the highway will be free starting from 0:00 on October 1 during the National Day holiday. The free highway policy during statutory holidays is based on the time when vehicles exit the toll station. If you enter the highway during the toll period and exit during the free period, no toll will be charged. Conversely, if you enter during the free period and exit during the toll period, the toll will be charged. If you cannot exit the highway by 24:00 on the last day of the free period, you can exit at the nearest toll station just before the toll period starts—this way, the preceding section of the highway will remain free. Drivers traveling across provinces should note that passing through provincial boundary toll stations before 0:00 on the 1st will incur charges. Therefore, it is advisable to plan your time accordingly. If the timing is not suitable, you can rest at a nearby service area and wait until 0:00 to pass through the toll station for free.
