Do I need to make an appointment to use the highway during the epidemic? How can I make an appointment in advance to use the highway during the epidemic?

As we all know, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, many places have implemented traffic control, especially in various regions of Hubei Province, in order to prevent the spread of the virus and reduce the risk of infection during travel. So do you need to make an appointment in advance to use the highway during the epidemic? Let's take a closer look!

Do I need to make an appointment to use the highway during the epidemic?

Generally, vehicles from other places need to make an appointment to enter other places, but the policies vary from place to place. You can call for consultation.

Now many cities have begun to launch relevant mini-programs to register the identities of people who are about to enter the relevant cities to ensure the safety of personnel flow. At the same time, most cities have such a regulation that you need to register relevant information on the mini-program before you can make an appointment to enter the city, so if you need to travel across cities in the near future, you need to understand the local epidemic prevention and control information in advance and register in advance through the corresponding procedures. Otherwise, you may be turned away at the highway exit.

For example, in Chongqing, not all vehicles need to make reservations. Only non-Chongqing vehicles are required to make online reservations to enter and exit Chongqing Expressway.

In order to implement the requirements of the Municipal New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Group, effectively protect the lives and health of the people, improve the prevention and control effects of provincial border epidemic prevention and control points on highways, and effectively block the transmission of the virus, all vehicles and drivers and passengers registered in Hubei entering our city will be persuaded to return, and other non-Chongqing vehicles passing through our city’s highways will be subject to "stricter, more practical, more detailed, and faster" control. It has been decided to implement a reservation-based passage method from 0:00 on February 4, 2020.

What should I prepare for driving on the highway during the epidemic?

In addition to making an appointment and registering in advance, if you need to commute to other provinces or cities on the highway, you also need to prepare relevant documents in advance for the gatekeepers to check. These documents are mainly ID cards, driver's licenses and vehicle registrations to ensure the safety of people entering and leaving from all places; the ID card is required for all people on the bus to provide for inspection, which must be noted. In addition, if you are passing through or departing from an epidemic area (such as Hubei), you may also need to show relevant health certificates before you can be released. In this regard, you need to consult the relevant places, otherwise you may be refused entry into the city.

When the quarantine personnel are checking your vehicle, it is also important to note that everyone in the car needs to wear a mask to further reduce the risk of contact with external viruses. If conditions permit, you can also disinfect the relevant parts after the quarantine to fully ensure the safety of the people in the car. In addition, there is one more thing that everyone needs to pay attention to, which is also the most likely situation during quarantine. That is, the temperature inside the car causes the surface temperature of the people in the car to be abnormal, which leads to abnormal conditions during the temperature detection. Therefore, before the temperature detection, we need to adjust the air conditioner in the car to an appropriate temperature to keep our surface temperature in a normal state, so that we can quickly pass the detection port, saving our own time and bringing more convenience to the detection personnel.

When will the free high-speed period be extended in 2020?

From February 17, 2020, all toll roads on expressways will implement a free policy for all vehicles until the end of the epidemic. The specific end time will be notified separately.

The free time of highways has always been a hot topic, and we all know that the free time of highways during the 2020 Spring Festival ended on February 8, but did you know that according to the latest notice on the extension of the free time of highways, the national highways will now be free until the end of the epidemic, so this is good news for car owners.

Recently, according to the latest news released by the Ministry of Transport, with the approval of the State Council, tolls on toll roads across the country will be waived from 00:00 on February 17 until the end of the epidemic prevention and control work. The specific deadline will be notified separately. Among them, the time when the networked toll highway is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane, and the time when the vehicle passes the toll station is based on the time when the open toll highway and ordinary toll highway pass. All vehicles that pass the toll roads in accordance with the law are free of charge.
