According to the high-speed free policy of the Ministry of Transport,
The free time of this year's Spring Festival Expressway is:
0 points on January 31, 2022 - 24 points on February 6, 2022,
A total of 7 days.
Free for:
Passenger vehicles with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats),
Motorcycles that are allowed to run on ordinary toll roads are included.
High-speed free is a cliché,
However, some problems are not paid attention to, and it is likely that you will not be able to enjoy free
Q:
8-seater cars are charged according to a class of cars, can the Spring Festival Expressway be free?
A:
No.
According to the current regulations, the models of high-speed free passage are passenger vehicles with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats), and 8-seater and 9-seat minibuses do not fall within the scope of the above regulations.
Therefore, even if the 8-seater car is charged according to the first type of car, it cannot enjoy the high-speed free.
Spring Festival january 31st start free, 2 days in advance on the highway, 31st under the highway, so is it also free?
gratis.
According to the high-speed free policy: ordinary toll roads are subject to the time when vehicles pass through the toll booth toll lane, and highways are based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane.
Although the current high-speed implementation of segmented charging, but the high-speed free period of the following high-speed time prevails, early on the high-speed will not be charged in sections.
Therefore, people do not have to wait until 00:00 on January 31 to enter the toll booth, which will lead to congestion at the entrance.
However, this is a free provision for highways, and ordinary toll roads are still "subject to the time when vehicles pass through toll booths".
★ What is the difference between a highway and a regular toll road?
According to the Highway Law of the People's Republic of China:
Highways are divided into five technical grades: expressways, first-class highways, secondary highways, tertiary highways and fourth-class highways.
That is, highways and ordinary roads.
Expressways are trunk highways dedicated to cars dividing directions, dividing lanes and controlling access. Cars can not turn around, retreat or drive in the opposite direction when driving on the highway, bicycles, motorcycles, tractors and other non-standard cars are not allowed to go on the highway, and pedestrians can not go on the highway.
Expressways are fast-track passages, and the speed of highways is generally 120 km/h. When conditions are limited, a calculated driving speed of 100 km/h or 80 km/h can be selected.
According to this standard, ordinary toll roads are what we call "national roads, provincial roads, county roads, and township roads" every day.
Can I enjoy high-speed free taxis/ ride-hailing? What about pickups? What about coach cars?
Taxis/ride-hailing/coaches are free, pickups are not free.
The objects of free high-speed traffic are: passenger vehicles with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats), including motorcycles that are allowed to travel on ordinary toll roads.
Note that it is a "passenger vehicle", so taxis, ride-hailing cars, and coach cars can enjoy the free policy.
There is an article on the Internet that says: Operating vehicles with 7 seats and less are not free, in fact, it is wrong!!
Xiaoyi specially consulted the traffic management department and got the answer: as long as it is a passenger car with 7 seats or less, it can be free of charge, and there is no distinction between operation and non-operation.
But pickups don't get free. Because the vehicle type of the pickup truck is a minivan at the time of registration, the truck is not eligible for the free passage policy.
However, some car owners have supported the trick: those who open pickup trucks can go to batch hundreds of pounds of cabbage to pull pockets, cover them with transparent plastic sheets, and then, take the green pass, you can be free.
Do I need to pull out the ETC card in my car during the high-speed free period?
Nope!
During the free period, passenger cars can enjoy the free traffic policy normally when entering and exiting the highway through the artificial lane or ETC lane.
So there is no need to pull the card.
On the contrary, if the user repeatedly pulls the card and inserts the card too many times, it is likely to be included in the key list and affect the normal passage.
In addition, WHEN ETC users enter and exit the highway, they should also pay attention to the choice of lanes:
Enter from the ETC lane, exit the ETC lane, take the artificial passage to enter, and take the artificial passage when getting off the highway. This avoids unnecessary trouble.
Will I be charged for the whole time beyond the free time?
Yes.
Although the segmented charging is implemented, if you exceed the free time and then go out of the highway, you will be charged a full fee!
Once a car owner exceeded the free time for 50 minutes, and he charged a toll for the whole journey of 1300 kilometers.
So, XiaoYi suggests: If you expect not to be able to reach your destination at the end of the free period, you can choose the nearest exit to drive away and then re-enter the highway to guarantee free time during the specified period.
If I sleep in the service area for one or two nights, will I be charged a overtime fee when I go out of the highway?
No.
The existence of high-speed overtime fees is mainly to combat the phenomenon of evading highway tolls through the exchange of pass cards in the service area, "losing cards" and other means, and at present only a few provinces have set up, and the main target is large trucks and other transport vehicles.
Generally normal driving vehicles, resting and sleeping in the high-speed service area or staying overnight, will not charge overtime fees, so if everyone is tired of driving, park the car in the service area to rest assured.
When you go to the highway, take the artificial lane, get the card, what should I do when I get off the highway card?
According to the latest reply from the Ministry of Transport: the pass card does not need to be recovered.
Of course, you can also return it to the highway administration.
