Holiday toll-free policies

China's municipalities and most of its provinces have rolled out their own versions of the toll-free plan required by the Ministry of Transport for the upcoming eight-day holiday.

By Wednesday, China's four municipalities - Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing - as well as a number of provinces, such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hunan and Sichuan, had outlined their toll policies, which will take effect for the first time.

Most of the provinces said highways and bridges will allow free passage by small passenger cars during the longer-than-usual holiday, which includes the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
