Earlier, the government had resolved at the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on the 19th to waive expressway tolls from 0:00 on September 28 to 24:00 on October 1.

During this period, Hi-Pass users will automatically have their toll fees set to zero when passing through Hi-Pass lanes.

General lane users must take a toll ticket at the expressway entrance tollgate and submit it at the exit tollgate to receive an immediate waiver. In this case, issuing a toll ticket is necessary to verify the entry time on the expressway and to settle the compensation amount for private expressway routes.
