National Day Expressway Overtime Fee

If a vehicle’s driving time within the highway network exceeds 24 hours, and the driving time on the same highway exceeds 12 hours, the excess time will be 40 yuan per hour based on the minimum speed of 60KM/H.

When the vehicle gets off the expressway and swipes the card at the exit, the system will automatically calculate the mileage of the vehicle from the entrance to the exit. Calculated at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the total time will be added to this time. 15 minutes. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law", the minimum speed on my country's highways is generally 60 kilometers per hour. Therefore, this standard has set aside sufficient time for the driver, taking into account a certain amount of rest and refueling time.

Overtime fee is a procedure set by the national highway network to prevent illegal activities such as "changing cards to evade tolls" and other illegal activities. It means that after the vehicle gets the pass card on the expressway, the system starts charging 30 per hour. The vehicle is automatically timed based on the speed of kilometers or 40km (varies in each province).

When getting off the expressway, if the time limit is exceeded, the toll collection system will automatically prompt you. If the driver can provide relevant valid evidence, the toll collector will charge according to the normal charging standards; otherwise, the toll station will be punished for toll evasion. The evidence here mainly refers to invoices for dining, accommodation or car repairs in the highway service area.

Extended information:

Driving friends often see slogans similar to the prohibition of fatigue driving on the highway, which are designed to remind drivers to pay attention to rest, thereby reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. Probability. You can often see large trucks parked in the service area, with drivers resting inside.

It goes without saying that the dangers of fatigue driving are even more dangerous, especially in high-speed environments such as highways. On the highway, we can often see slogans against fatigue driving. However, many drivers often drive for more than ten hours without stopping. If they are really sleepy, they take a nap in the service area. It doesn't matter if you don't sleep. If you sleep, you may incur high overtime fees. So why does this happen? How can we prevent this from happening?

The so-called time limit refers to the calculation standard based on the distance between the highway entrance and exit divided by the minimum speed limit (60 kilometers/hour). Once this time limit is exceeded for 12 hours, an "overtime fee" will be paid. The official explanation is to crack down on drivers evading tolls.

Because in the past, some drivers secretly changed their cards in order to evade expressway tolls. That is, two vehicles in opposite directions cooperate with each other, exchange access cards, replace fake license plates with each other during transportation or in the service area, and evade highway tolls.
