So, is it true that the national high-speed toll stations will be cancelled? What is the provincial toll station? However, don't be too happy.

Cancellation of provincial toll stations does not mean no charges
What is provincial toll station
Highway provincial toll station is a national highway toll station set at the junction of the provincial administrative regions. Toll station is used to collect tolls for passing vehicles. Toll stations must be set up for toll roads or toll interchanges.
There are generally two locations of toll stations: one is directly located on the main line, also known as the barrier type, which is mostly used at the beginning and end of the main line toll section; the other is located on the interchange or connecting line, which is generally used for the general three-dimensional intersection between the main line toll sections, so as to control the toll of vehicles entering and leaving the main line.
In May 2019, in order to implement the plan of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to deepen the reform of toll roads, the task of basically canceling the provincial toll stations of national expressways within two years proposed in the government work report will be advanced to the end of 2019, so as to reduce the burden of consumers and enterprise costs and expand effective demand.
I believe that now we all know what the provincial toll station is. It is worth mentioning that is it true that the national highway toll station has been cancelled? It is reported that we should not be happy too soon. The cancellation of toll station is not the same as the cancellation of toll. It is only to realize the fast charging without stopping, and the full implementation of senseless payment will greatly reduce the labor cost.
