This year's May Day holiday was originally only one day, but now it's adjusted to four days. Then, the freeway free policy has come down. The specific time is from 0:00 on May 1 to 24:00 on May 4. However, not all cars are free this time. Some cars still need to be charged. Does your car need to be charged?
Free time of May 1st Expressway
The free period is from 00:00 on May 1st to 24:00 on May 4th.
This means that the toll for the designated vehicles will be exempted within 4 days of the holiday. It is necessary to remind the majority of drivers that the free passage time is subject to the time when the passenger car gets off the expressway. If you get on the expressway in advance during the charging period and get off the expressway during the free period, it is free; if you get on the expressway during the free period and get off the expressway during the charging period, you will be charged. If you need to get on the highway, you must plan the time in advance. If you go beyond the time range, you must pay for it. This is the first rule: time.
According to the regulations, the free object of high-speed is: passenger vehicles with less than 7 SEATS (including 7 seats). Pay attention to two key words: less than 7 SEATS (including 7 seats), passenger vehicles. In other words, not all cars can enjoy high-speed free, even some five seat cars can not be free!
The second regulation is the limitation of vehicle type. In fact, the object of high-speed free is mainly private cars. Only vehicles with seven seats or less can enjoy the right of free. But there are also many private cars with eight seats, such as the land patrol, which must be charged for high-speed vehicles. There is another point that we need to pay attention to. If it's high-speed pickup, it also needs to pay fees. Although the pickup is said to be a five seater, it is considered to be an operating vehicle.
First: pickup truck
In the past, pick-up trucks were used only when pulling goods, so they were also defined as small trucks. So even though the pickup is a 5-seat car and a home car, it still can't get on the high-speed for free, because the pickup has been defined as a small truck for a long time, and this kind of car must pay for the high-speed!
Second type: eight seat car
Because there are clear regulations on the expressway, only seven seat and below models can get on the expressway free of charge. Therefore, if your car is eight seat car, then it will not be free! It is worth mentioning that although many cars are seven seat car now, but because the driving license is eight seat car, then your car is eight seat car, and it is also unable to pass free of charge. The most representative model is It's a Toyota Land Cruiser!
Third type: operation vehicle
If your car is a business type car, it can't pass free of charge, because China's express highway clearly stipulates that the high-speed vehicles can't be free of charge, so the high-speed vehicles must pay according to the regulations! No matter how many cars are, as long as they are operating, they can't be free of charge.
In addition to the above three kinds of cars, motorcycles in some areas will not be able to pass free of charge. Therefore, when you get on the highway, you must see your own models clearly. Never travel blindly to avoid spending money.
