Are highways free during the Dragon Boat Festival? 2020 Dragon Boat Festival Holidays and Highway Tolls

How many days will the Dragon Boat Festival be this year?

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. According to the notice of the State Council, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in 2020 will be from June 25 to June 27, a total of 3 days.

Because the next holiday is Mid-Autumn Festival, we have to wait until National Day on October 1st, which is 102 days away from today.

After reading this, many of my friends may feel a little nervous. If you want to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday to go out and relax and have fun, and satisfy your desire to go out and have fun, you have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.

During the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday in 2020, when going out for a trip and driving a private car, will there be tolls on the highway?

The answer may disappoint some friends. According to the document "Implementation Plan for Exemption of Tolls for Small Passenger Cars on Major Holidays" issued by the Ministry of Transport of China, only for the four important holidays of the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day and National Day, the policy of free highway passage for small passenger cars with 7 seats or less (including 7 seats) will be implemented, but it does not include New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, private cars will not be able to travel on highways for free during the Dragon Boat Festival this year. However, even if it is not free, vehicles equipped with ETC can still enjoy a 95% discount when passing through the highway. Thinking of this, car owners will feel better. After all, you can save 5 yuan out of 100 yuan, and a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is.

In addition, it is worth noting that although the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is not free, the number of vehicles on the highway during the holidays will increase significantly compared to usual times. When driving on the highway, be sure to control your speed, pay attention to traffic flow, and be alert to vehicles coming from behind.

Safe and law-abiding driving is the first principle and bottom line. After all, going out happily and returning home happily during holidays is the scene that every friend wants to see most.
