Toll refers to the fees that need to be paid when passing through a certain section, which is generally used in national highway toll stations and other places. The toll collected by the state is not unlimited. When the country recovers the cost of road construction, the toll station will be dismantled naturally.
In May, 20 19, in order to implement the Party Central Committee and the State Council to deepen the reform and deployment of toll roads, the task of basically canceling provincial toll stations in China's expressways within two years proposed in the government work report was advanced to the end of 20 19, so as to reduce the burden on consumers and enterprises and expand effective demand.

About140,000 kilometers of toll roads have been built in the world, including10,000 kilometers in China. In other words, 70% of the world's toll roads are in China. The Ministry of Communications stipulates that a toll station should be set up every 40 kilometers, and some local governments stipulate that 1 toll station can be set up every 20 kilometers or even less for high-grade highways.
China has invested more in transportation infrastructure than in the first 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the case of insufficient financial resources, the introduction of bank loans and commercial capital by local governments has brought the miracle of rapid development of expressway construction, and also allowed people to enjoy various conveniences brought by transportation extending in all directions.
However, the chaotic management of toll roads has increasingly become an open cancer and corruption on the roads.
