In response to the public’s call for free passage of major holiday toll roads, the spokesman of the Ministry of Transport, He Jianzhong, said at the press conference yesterday that the feasibility of exempting small bus tolls for major holidays has been studied and an implementation plan has been drafted. The relevant parties are being consulted.

Free passage in the Spring Festival in several provinces

According to the information released by the Ministry of Transport before the Spring Festival this year, during the Spring Festival Golden Week, toll roads in Hebei, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Henan, Jilin, Ningxia and other provinces and regions have implemented a free pass policy for some periods.

This measure has also been well received by many car owners. It is believed that there are many people who go out for sightseeing and visiting relatives during the holidays. The concentrated travel of vehicles has put pressure on the roads. The expressway toll stations often line up in front of the toll stations and become “embedded”. Free access can better solve this problem.

In addition, the owner of the car suggested that in addition to these provinces, the toll road free pass policy should be extended to the whole country. In addition, in addition to the Spring Festival, other major holidays should also implement the same policy.

The implementation plan has been drafted

"During major holidays, some highway toll stations with relatively large traffic volume do have congestion. The majority of travellers are looking forward to a quick trip and look forward to free release." He Jianzhong said that the Ministry of Transport attaches great importance to this. Some improvement measures have also been taken in recent years. For example, the promotion of networked tolls, electronic non-stop charging, and the increase of temporary toll gates during peak hours have greatly improved the efficiency of traffic.

He Jianzhong said that in the past two years, some provinces and autonomous regions such as Hebei, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Ningxia have also tried to implement free measures during the Spring Festival. Despite the trial, the measures were introduced and received wide acclaim from all walks of life. The public also hopes to expand the scope.

He Jianzhong said that in the special clean-up work of toll roads, the five ministries and commissions have carried out serious research on the feasibility of exempting small passenger car tolls from major holidays in light of the actual situation in various places. At present, the implementation plan has been drafted and relevant opinions are being sought. After further improving the plan, it will be submitted for approval in accordance with the procedures, and strive to be introduced as soon as possible.

Responding to the question of "overtime fee" for high-speed roads

According to media reports, on May 8th, a driver in Hebei was rested in the car for one night because of physical discomfort, resulting in driving on the highway and staying for more than 12 hours. As a result, he received a “overtime fee” of 345 yuan.

In response to the recent “overtime fee” for highways in Hebei and Jiangxi, He Jianzhong said that there is no specific regulation on how to deal with “overtime vehicles” at the national level in laws and administrative regulations. However, Article 33 of the Regulations on the Administration of Toll Roads stipulates that the toll road operators shall have the right to refuse the passage of vehicles that refuse to pay, evade and pay less vehicle tolls according to law, and require them to make up their dues. Vehicle tolls paid. However, it is necessary to carry out scientific and reasonable identification of whether the so-called "overtime vehicle" belongs to the "escape and pay less" vehicles.

He Jianzhong said that in order to prevent malicious traffic and less travel expenses, some localities also issued local or regulatory documents in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations on Toll Road Management. These management systems also need to be improved, and more efforts should be made to prevent, contain and combat the smuggling of tolls by improving technical means.

249 problems in toll roads are still being rectified

The special treatment of the national toll roads in the past year, how effective? He Jianzhong said that 771 projects requiring rectification have been identified in the country, and 522 have been rectified, and another 249 problems are being gradually rectified.

Among them, 328 toll stations with unreasonable spacing and too close spacing were revoked and adjusted, and the road mileage for stopping the charges was 3,706 kilometers. 182 toll road projects have lowered toll rates, with Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Hunan reducing the minimum toll rates for all highways and bridges and tunnels. Beijing, Nanjing, Nanchang, Wuhan and other places have reduced airport toll standards. . The cancellation of 58 toll roads, the repayment of loans and fund-raising funds, and the toll road projects that did not meet the required mileage requirements were cancelled.

He Jianzhong said that the next phase should speed up the revision of the Regulations on the Management of Toll Roads and the supporting regulations. Including the solution to the formation and regular adjustment mechanism of toll road toll standards, scientifically determine the reasonable rate of return on operational highways, and improve the regular audit and monitoring system for information disclosure and income and expenditure of toll roads.
