You know, when I just saw the notice about the New Year's Day holiday, my heart was shocked, thinking that now I can play and run to my heart's content. However, if you look closely, you will find that the expressway is not free.
Indeed, why is it free? The Spring Festival, Tomb Sweeping Festival, Labor Day and National Day are all clearly stated in the document. They are just these four days. Trying to take advantage of free opportunities on New Year's Day? Totally impossible.
The highway is not free, but where can you go?
In fact, it's not bad. If it's not free, will there be fewer vehicles on the road? This possibility exists. Although I don’t have a particularly firm estimate in my heart, if everyone has such an idea, will they all be congested on the road in the end?
The highway will be free in 2024. How many days will it be free?
After totaling it up, the total is 24 days. The Spring Festival is the most powerful. From New Year’s Eve to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, you can have free access. Tomb Sweeping Day has 3 days, Labor Day has 5 days, and National Day has 7 days.
I remember that on National Day that year, I watched the sunset on the highway. It was quite beautiful. Just urgent urination.
What are the free vehicles included?
Seven seats and below include seven seats, and motorcycles are also allowed. I have an eight-seater van, but I have to pay for it every time. My friends always laugh at me and ask me why I bought such a big one, and I can’t bring in more people.
How to calculate free time?
This should be kept in mind. It’s not about seeing when you went up, but the time when you exited. It's like going up at 11pm on the last free day, but coming down at 12:01. Sorry, you have to pay.
Once, I was just five minutes short, and ended up spending more than a hundred dollars more. This made me feel so distressed that I couldn't sleep well all night.
Ordinary highways are like this, and the standard is to pass through the toll station. However, who would travel on ordinary roads nowadays? Everyone chooses expressways.
There is one more thing that you must pay very close attention to! The channel you are taking is the artificial one. When going down, be sure not to take the ETC channel.
Last year, I had a buddy who wanted to save trouble and chose to go on the artificial lane and under the ETC lane. Who knows how he would have thought that the railings would not open, and the cars behind him kept honking their horns. His face turned red at that time, and it was exactly the same color as the taillights of the car. In the end, he had no choice but to go back, and he struggled like this for a full half hour.
The optimal situation is that you enter at the same exit and exit at the same exit, the ETC fee settlement method is used throughout the entire process, and the manual charging process uses manual mode throughout the process. Never imitate that friend of mine.
If you really think about it, whether it is free or not is just a kind of inner comfort. If you really plan to go out and have some fun, do you care about the small toll? What I really care about is the feeling of having fun and not getting stuck on the road.
During the three days of New Year's Day, although the expressway does not implement a toll-free policy, it is still quite good to be able to get together with family and friends, even if it is just to wander around the surrounding area.
Life, isn’t it like this? Sometimes spending money can make you remember the trip better. Don’t forget the punctuation marks, which will affect the understanding of semantics.
Just like the more than 100 extra tolls I paid that year, I still remember it clearly.
Get ready to go, no matter it’s free or not, the road is there and your heart is there too.
