On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival Expressway is not free. The time range of free passage in China only includes the four national legal holidays, such as Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day and National Day, and the above-mentioned legal holidays determined by the documents of the General Office of the State Council. This means that except for these specific holidays, highways, including the Lantern Festival, are charged at other times. Therefore, drivers should budget their travel expenses when planning their trips during the Lantern Festival, so as not to affect their travel.
Highway policy:
1. Leisure time stipulated by the state: it usually includes four legal holidays: Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day and National Day;
2. Free conditions: small passenger cars can enjoy the policy of free passage, specifically for buses with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats);
3. Free scope: including most toll roads, but some toll roads invested by local governments or private individuals may not be included in this scope;
4. Implementation time: Free time generally starts at 0: 00 on the first day of holidays and ends at 24: 00 on the last day.
To sum up, the Lantern Festival Expressway is not free on the fifteenth day of the first month. Drivers should budget their tolls before they travel, so as not to affect their travel.
