Is the Lantern Festival Expressway free in 24 years?

Lantern Festival Expressway is not free in 24 years.

When discussing whether the highway is free in the 24 th Lantern Festival, we need to know the policy background and implementation regulations of highway free in China first. According to the relevant policies, the free passage time of high-speed in China is mainly concentrated in the four national legal holidays, namely 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 in that year. Lantern Festival is not among the four legal holidays, so under normal circumstances, the high-speed during the Lantern Festival is not free.

However, it should be noted that the high-speed free policy may be affected by some special circumstances, such as sudden natural disasters and major social events. Under these special circumstances, the government may adjust the high-speed free policy according to the actual situation. Therefore, although the Lantern Festival Expressway is not free on the whole, we still need to pay attention to the latest policy information released by the government to find out whether there are free traffic arrangements under special circumstances.

In addition, for the majority of drivers, no matter whether the expressway is free or not, they should abide by the traffic rules to ensure driving safety. During the festival, due to the increase in the number of people traveling, the road traffic pressure may increase, so it is even more necessary for us to be vigilant and drive carefully to avoid traffic accidents.

To sum up:

Lantern Festival Expressway is not free in 24 years. Although the Lantern Festival is generally not within the time range of high-speed free passage, we still need to pay attention to the latest policy information released by the government to find out whether there are free passage arrangements under special circumstances. At the same time, whether the expressway is free or not, we should abide by the traffic rules to ensure driving safety.
