1. Will highways be free during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2022? Attached is the latest notice!

Highways will not be free during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2022. Because according to the latest free highway passage notice issued by the state, there are only four statutory holidays for free highway passage each year, namely the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day and National Day. Obviously, the Dragon Boat Festival is not within the annual free highway travel period, so during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2022, car owners who drive on the highway will be charged tolls at toll stations. The highway is not free during the Dragon Boat Festival, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that there will be no traffic jams, but the disadvantage is that tolls will be collected. Below is Dongguan Feng Chao's summary of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday highway toll situation as follows:

1. Will the highway be free on June 3rd during the Dragon Boat Festival?

The highways will not be free on June 3rd, the Dragon Boat Festival, because the highways are tolled during the entire Dragon Boat Festival, so you will face charges if you take the highways. If the journey is short, it is recommended to take the highway. One reason is that there will be no traffic jams, and the other is that taking the highway can save time. However, there will be a small traffic jam in the afternoon of June 2, and more people may leave the city. However, the local epidemic this year has caused people in many areas to refrain from unnecessary travel. It remains to be seen whether the number of people traveling during the Dragon Boat Festival will increase.

2. Will the highway be free on June 4th and June 5th?

Not free. Although these two days are during the Dragon Boat Festival, it should be noted that the Dragon Boat Festival is not within the scope of free highways, so if you return on June 4th or 5th, tolls will be charged at the toll station. The toll for small cars is 0.45 yuan per kilometer. If you take the highway for 200 kilometers, a toll of 90 yuan will be charged when you exit the highway toll station.

2. Why are highways not free during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2022?

1. The reason why the expressway is not free during the Dragon Boat Festival is that it is not a free holiday.

According to the latest notice issued by the state on exempting small passenger cars from tolls on major holidays, free highway access will only be implemented on four important holidays, namely the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day and National Day, but not the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

2. The second reason why the expressway is not free during the Dragon Boat Festival: it is close to the May Day holiday

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is usually about a month after the May Day holiday every year. In the past two years, the May Day holiday has been five days long, and many people go home or travel. The Dragon Boat Festival is a three-day holiday, during which fewer people travel because those who have long journeys simply won’t go home. Therefore, the country decided that highways will not be free during the Dragon Boat Festival after analyzing and comparing big data. If the highway is free on every statutory holiday, where does the money for highway maintenance come from?

3. The reason why the expressway is not free during the Dragon Boat Festival is that the traffic volume is not high.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, many people are busy with farming, and due to factors such as students taking the college entrance examination, the traffic volume is usually relatively small, so the highways are free during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In general, the highway will not be free during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2022. The reason why the highway will not be free during the Dragon Boat Festival is mainly due to the fact that it is not a free holiday and is close to the May Day holiday.
