When does the highway toll-free period refer to?

Highway toll-free time refers to the time when you exit the highway. Below is relevant information about highways: 1. Sign introduction: Highway signs typically feature an overpass symbol between two roads. The background color of the sign varies depending on different countries and regions. Mainland China, Taiwan China, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, etc., use a green background. 2. Classification: Roads are divided into five categories based on their usage tasks, functions, and traffic volume: highways, first-class roads, second-class roads, third-class roads, and fourth-class roads. Highways are trunk roads exclusively designed for automobiles to travel in separate directions and lanes with full access control.
I often go on self-driving trips during holidays. The toll-free periods on highways mainly occur during four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, and National Day. Specifically, it starts at 00:00 on the first day of the holiday and lasts until 24:00 on the last day. It's important to note that this toll-free policy refers to the time of exiting the highway. If you're still on the highway on the last night of the toll-free period, it's recommended to find an exit beforehand, exit and then re-enter the highway. Otherwise, you'll be charged for the entire journey. The toll-free policy only applies to small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer. Vehicles like pickup trucks and minivans may not be eligible, so it's best to confirm before your trip. I usually plan my route in advance to avoid peak hours, which saves both toll fees and time.
