Vehicles no longer need to stop and pay tolls at provincial boundary stations on highways, which can completely solve the congestion problem at provincial boundaries, significantly improve traffic efficiency, and reduce pollution emissions. The following is relevant information about highway toll collection: 1. The basis for calculating toll amounts: The payable toll amount for vehicles traveling on highways is calculated by multiplying the corresponding toll standard for different vehicles by their actual mileage. Vehicles eligible for relevant preferential policies will have corresponding discount amounts deducted during toll collection. 2. Highway ETC gantry system toll calculation: The toll amount for vehicles passing through a single ETC gantry is calculated based on its jurisdiction mileage and toll standard, and rounded to the nearest "cent" according to the "rounding" rule. After completing highway travel, the sum of toll amounts calculated by passing ETC gantries constitutes the payable toll amount. 3. Precise toll calculation for highway vehicles: After abolishing provincial boundary toll stations, both ETC and manual payment vehicles will be precisely charged according to actual travel paths. Among them, ETC vehicles are charged based on payable amounts at passed ETC gantries and relevant preferential policies, with transaction amounts rounded to the nearest "cent". MTC vehicles are charged based on the sum of payable amounts at passed ETC gantries and relevant preferential policies. When making manual payments at exit mixed lanes or manual toll lanes, transaction amounts are rounded to the nearest "yuan". If the total toll for a single trip is less than one yuan, it will be charged as one yuan.

I've been driving on highways for over a decade. In the past, I had to queue at provincial border toll stations every time, sometimes waiting for half an hour, which was really annoying. The nationwide ETC rollout started in mid-2019, and by the end of that year, many provincial border stations were demolished and replaced with automatic gantries. Now we can pass provincial borders without stopping - just a quick ETC scan and you're through. This change has significantly reduced accident risks by eliminating sudden braking and acceleration, while also saving fuel and money. I remember the nationwide transition was basically completed by early 2020. I recommend new drivers to install ETC too - it's simple and convenient, can be done via mobile apps. Don't miss out on these convenient new technologies.

Since the initiative to remove provincial toll stations on highways was launched in 2019, I had discussions with my family about this . In May of that year, the national rollout began, ETC adoption accelerated in July, and pilot station removals started by year-end. By early 2020, the nationwide network was largely completed, enabling seamless ETC passage across the country. Why was the government in such a hurry? To boost logistics efficiency while reducing congestion and pollution. As an ordinary car owner, I consider this investment worthwhile – crossing provincial borders now takes seconds instead of minutes, significantly improving safety, especially by reducing rear-end collision risks during rain or snow.

The removal of provincial toll stations occurred between 2019 and 2020, bringing numerous benefits. With the implementation of the ETC system, there's no need to queue for toll payments, making highway travel smoother. This saves time, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers travel costs. The process was largely completed before New Year's Day in 2020, reducing fatigue-related driving accidents, which is especially friendly for long-distance drivers. It's recommended to use this system for daily travel as it's easy to install and practical.

The timeline for abolishing provincial toll stations is clear: the was introduced in May 2019, ETC promotion peaked in July, and stations were dismantled across provinces by year-end. The nationwide network was completed in early 2020. I witnessed this transition from manual payment to automatic passage, doubling efficiency. Now, ETC gantries ensure accurate billing, eliminating traffic congestion. A reminder to regularly check your device to ensure smooth operation of the new system and enjoy this convenient service.
