What are the pros and cons of China s highways if they are toll free?

First of all, you should know that in the two cities of Toronto and Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, two parallel highways called 401 and 407 are connected to the two cities. But 401 can sell fried noodles every day, but 407 is wide enough to be used as an airstrip. The reason for this is because 401 is charged, while 407 is free.

Don't say that Canadians are picking on the door, because Canada is a developed country and has a population about the same as Beijing. The most ironic thing is that in 2016, the 401 highway was overhauled, and during this time, the 401 traffic was not convenient, but there are still countless people who are willing to block the free highway. This is the disadvantage, if the highway in our country is free, then it will definitely not be blocked at any time period.

How to say "high speed".

In fact, it is impossible for China's highways to be free in the near future, because China implements the policy of "borrowing money to build roads and charging fees to repay loans". Most of these highways are tendered for bidding, and then a small part of them are cooperated with enterprises, and then directly built with taxpayers' money. After all, China can trim so many highways in a short period of time, and if it relies on taxpayers' money alone, it is quite reluctant, so it is better to let enterprises build it.

The expressway is currently the most technologically advanced road in our country. Static investment to calculate the plain area is basically about 100 million a kilometer, if there is an interconnection, there is a tunnel, the cost is normal to double several times. In a thousand words, building a highway really burns money.

Moreover, the highway is not built once and for all, the highway also has a life, in the life cycle, the most common is due to overload caused by various injuries to repair, personnel, testing, maintenance is a huge expense that can not be saved. And highways are like parks, and there is no financial return on paper. Therefore, if the expressway is not tolled, then first, the number of new expressways will drop significantly, and second, the existing expressways will also have problems.

Moreover, toll highways do not account for a high proportion of all roads in China.

At the end of 2017, the national toll road mileage was 10,000 kilometers, accounting for 10,000 kilometers of the total highway mileage. Among them, 10,000 kilometers of expressways, 10,000 kilometers of first-class highways, 10,000 kilometers of second-class roads, and 883 kilometers of independent bridges and tunnels, accounting for8% and.

The length of toll roads nationwide decreased by 7,356 kilometers compared with the end of the previous year. Among them, the net increase of expressways was 8,130 kilometers, and the net decrease of primary roads, secondary roads, independent bridges and tunnels was 2,846 kilometers, 12,399 kilometers and 240 kilometers respectively. Data** from the 2017 National Toll Road Statistical Bulletin

In fact, in the end, the question can be understood as whether all taxpayers should be allowed to subsidize some of the people who use the expressway. In this way, everyone is actually relieved. For motorists, it's free, but it's more congested.

For those who don't drive, they just spend money that they can't benefit. Let's see that there are no pros and cons, only disadvantages...

This is also from these aspects. Let's start with the benefits.

Pro, if the highway is really all free. The transportation will definitely be more convenient than it is now. There will also be a large number of cars will choose to take the highway, so that the situation of traffic jams on the lower road will be greatly alleviated.

Moreover, even if you go down the road, the time will be greatly saved, right, because the traffic flow is smaller, and the traffic pressure is also less.

Disadvantages: First, the financial revenue and expenditure is not less, the highway is originally consumed, I don't know if the maintenance can keep up.

Second, the highway is free, and the number of cars on the highway will definitely increase greatly. The pressure of the lower road is smaller, but the pressure at high speed will increase greatly. Don't forget, the speed of the car on the highway is faster than the next road.

Then, the risk of accidents on high speeds is greatly increased. And at high speed, it is not allowed to turn around. Once there is an accident, not to mention how many normal vehicles will be directly affected.

Even if you have to queue up and detour early, won't the high-speed lose the meaning of the high-speed?

In short, I still think that high-speed charging is more reasonable. But now the newly reformed fee policy seems to be slightly more expensive.

If China's highways are free, the benefit is that the state will give benefits to the people and reduce the cost of travel. In particular, it is good for transportation practitioners to increase the income of relevant personnel. The disadvantage is that the state will be in debt, and the income will be reduced, which is not conducive to the investment and construction of the highway, and also affects the maintenance of the highway for a long time!

If the highway is free in the future, it is a great thing in general, but there are also pros and cons to each other, and the analysis is as follows:

First, the favorable aspects.

1. The biggest benefit is that it directly reduces the economic burden of all vehicle passers, and will benefit from the passage of enterprise vehicles and private vehicles, which also reflects the concept that development must benefit all the people.

2. It is conducive to reducing the cost of enterprises, especially to reduce the cost of small and medium-sized enterprises. In the face of the huge impact of the epidemic, China has introduced many policies to reduce taxes and fees, but it is still facing a lot of pressure, and the free highway passage should be a great help and support, which is conducive to the development of enterprises and the economic recovery of enterprises, and hopes to be implemented as soon as possible.

3. It is conducive to giving full play to the maximum value and role of expressways. Let the vehicles flow, let the people flow, the economic recovery will naturally come alive, and the free highway is undoubtedly a benign catalyst for the economic recovery.

Second, the negative aspects.

1. Free passage will definitely increase the traffic flow, which will naturally increase the frequency of traffic congestion or traffic accidents.

2. It will increase the cost of highway maintenance and labor costs.

In short, the highway is free of charge, for economic development, personnel exchanges, tourism, commodity circulation, consumption driven, etc., it must be far more beneficial than disadvantageous, the traffic will be active in the economy, the economy will be facilitated by the rapid development of the economy, and the economic cost will be reduced when the traffic is cheap.

Highway is one of the important means of transportation in China, and it is also one of the largest financial revenues in China. If the expressway is free, it means that China's fiscal revenue will drop sharply and it will not be able to operate normally. If the highway is free, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for the people, because the expenditure is reduced, and there is not so much pressure to spend.

Pros: The transportation cost of people's travel has been reduced, and there will be many people on domestic self-driving tours, which will promote the development of tourism. There will be more city-to-city traffic, and the cost of goods will be reduced.

Disadvantages: Too many cars go at high speeds, and high speeds are not fast. Trucks go more unscrupulously on the highway, which has an impact on the safety of the car. Too many cars are easily damaged after going at high speeds, and there is no money to repair them. Some of the toll booth employees lost their jobs.

Highway tolls for freight companies in the cost of a large proportion of the cost, if the highway can be free, China's logistics costs will drop significantly. At the same time, after the expressway is free, a large number of vehicles will be transferred from the national highway and the provincial highway to the highway pass, in this case, the transportation pressure of the national highway and the provincial highway can be greatly reduced, and the maintenance cost of the national highway and the provincial highway can also be reduced, so that the traffic accident of the national highway and the provincial highway can also be reduced. It is also possible to save money on more repairs and the construction of new highways.

After the highway is free of charge, the transportation time can be greatly shortened and the transportation efficiency can be improved.

The problem that the expressway brings after free is also there, so that the transportation pressure of the expressway can be greatly increased, may bring more congestion to the expressway, in addition a large number of cars will increase the damage of the expressway after entering the expressway, reduce the service life of the expressway, will also greatly increase the maintenance cost of the expressway, may save the maintenance cost of the national highway, and can not offset the operation and maintenance cost of the expressway.

The expressway free of charge makes the expressway operator lose its income, and brings a lot of adverse effects to the maintenance and operation of the expressway, and at the same time, the expressway operator can not achieve normal operation, and also brings certain difficulties to the construction of the new expressway.

If China's expressways are free, the first advantage is that ordinary people and enterprises will spend less money on transportation. The disadvantage is that once the highway is free, the number of vehicles on the highway will increase suddenly, which will increase the probability of high-speed traffic jams, so that the high-speed is no different from the ordinary national highway.

The free development of expressways will definitely be able to promote the development of local economy and tourism, especially to promote the implementation of various policies, as well as the flow of people in various regions, which is a very good direction.

In fact, we all know that the opening of the expressway is generally open more during the holidays, because the holidays are originally a peak period for people to travel, so at this time, if the expressway is open for free, then it will promote the flow of more people on the expressway, thereby promoting domestic demand.

First, the benefits of free and open highways.

1.Drive the flow of people.

The free opening of the expressway will definitely be able to drive the flow of people in two regions or other regions, mainly because it can have a very good impact on the market and consumption of the two places.

2.Energizing the economy.

It is very necessary to activate the economy, after all, the highways are free, so people travel to reduce a cost, and many people will use this cost in other aspects, so as to promote the development and use of the economy.

3.Promote domestic demand.

The promotion of domestic demand is very certain, after all, if the development of the whole society is too lifeless and there is no economic exchange, then there must be how to promote domestic demand through people's economic consumption.

2. The expressway is free of charge.

The free opening of the expressway must be time-sensitive, generally speaking, the highway opening hours we know are on holidays, that is, on National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Labor Day, New Year's Day and other holidays, and the opening time limit of holidays is only from 6 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the evening can be opened for free, of course, the highways in various places are free to open, and the timeliness is different in general, they are mainly open on holidays.

Expansion]: The high-speed free passage time is four major holidays, namely the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, and the specific time is:

1. Spring Festival, 0:00 on February 11 (week.

4. Chinese New Year's Eve) - February 17 at 24 o'clock (week.

3. The sixth day of the Lunar New Year);

2. Qingming Festival, 0:00 on April 3 (Saturday) - 24:00 on April 5 (Monday), a total of 3 days;

3. Labor Day, from 0:00 on May 1 (Saturday) to 24:00 on May 5 (Wednesday), a total of 5 days;

4. National Day, from 0:00 on October 1 (Friday) to 24:00 on October 7 (Thursday), a total of 7 days.

Promote consumption, boost domestic demand, and increase income for the two major oil giants.

rob the poor and help the rich. Highways need to be maintained, they cost money.

People who have cars are relatively wealthy people, and they don't have to pay tolls, so who will pay for the maintenance?

State spending, of course!

So what does the state rely on for spending?

Taxation. Then those who have a car and those who don't have a car have to pay taxes, and this tax subsidy is given to the road maintenance fee, and then the people with the car pass the free highway.

Highway, the tax money handed over is recovered, but what about the people who don't have a car?

Their taxes are subsidized to the wealthy who drive for free on the highways!

Typical robbery of the poor and help the rich.

Please look at the realistic version, you don't think it's wrong, there are the following benefits:

1. You can enjoy the moon, walk the dog, and play badminton on the highway. Do push-ups.

2. Free parking is available on the highway.

3. It can block the hot spots across the country.

4. Large containers can be directly killed by collision in congestion on the highway.

I can give you some benefits and reduce travel expenses!!

Second, because there is no charge, the distance between people is closer. Originally, because of the long distance and high fees, friends who had never visited on holidays went because there was no charge.

3. If the state doesn't collect your money, are you equal to earning? You go out and make money, not bad.

Fourth, originally I walked down from Suzhou to Dongshan, it took half an hour, now there is no charge, I should take the high-speed, 15 minutes to arrive. Time saved.

Fifth, I haven't remembered it yet, but I thought of telling you.

The benefits are great, that is, it helps you save a lot of travel expenses.

In fact, European and American countries are not all free of charges, there are also a lot of toll sections, many countries still decide not to charge according to the model, plus the European and American countries built the highway relatively early, so all aspects of the facilities are also relatively perfect, and China's highway in recent decades has only begun to build vigorously, some are built with loansAfter all, in order to develop the economy, the road must be repaired, so a lot of effort has been put into the development of transportation, and a lot of money has been spent on maintaining the highwayTherefore, the current charge is also to ensure that there is no loss.

Nowadays, with the increasing development of China's transportation and highwaysMany people like to drive their own cars when they travel, after all, most people now have private cars in their homesWhen I have time, I will go out for a road trip, and sometimes I will drive out by myself on a business trip, but there is often a problem that bothers everyoneFor example, we often charge fees on the expressway, and different mileage toll standards are also different, but many friends who have been to European and American countries have found that the highways in European and American countries are rarely chargedEven many of them are free, which makes many people curious, why China's highways must be charged.
