According to Fast Technology on September 23rd， this year’s National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival coincide， offering an extended 8-day holiday. The specific arrangement is as follows:
The holiday will be observed from October 1st (Wednesday) to October 8th (Wednesday)， totaling 8 days. To compensate， September 28th (Sunday) and October 11th (Saturday) will be designated as working days.
This Sunday marks the makeup working day before the holiday break， so remember to set your alarms.
In accordance with the “Implementation Plan for Toll Exemption for Small Passenger Cars during Major Holidays issued by the Ministry of Transport，” there will be toll-free passage on expressways during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday period.
The toll-free period will commence at midnight on October 1st and conclude at midnight on October 8th， a total of 8 days. (The actual exit time from the expressway toll lane will determine eligibility for toll exemption).
The toll-free policy applies to passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (inclusive).
The convergence of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival this year， resulting in an extended 8-day holiday， is expected to significantly boost public travel demand. This period is anticipated to reach a new peak in travel for the year， marking one of the busiest travel times annually.
Here are two important points to remember regarding the expressway toll-free rules:
1. If a vehicle enters the expressway during a non-toll-free period but exits during the toll-free period， it will be eligible for the free passage policy.
2. Conversely， if a vehicle enters the expressway during the toll-free period but exits after the toll-free period has concluded， it will not qualify for toll exemption and will be required to pay the full toll amount.
