Toll road only accounts for 4% of our highway mileage

To form a toll road system based on Expressway and a toll road system based on ordinary highways the information is not transparent, the standard is not enough, and the service needs to be raised. BEIJING, March 23 (Xinhua Luyanan) Traffic and Transportation Department spokesman He Jianzhong introduced, China's overall development of the expressway mainly low-cost, efficient "toll road system" and the general highway to reflect the government's universal service "non-toll road system." Among them, the "non-toll road system" accounted for more than 96% of the total road mileage, mainly to solve the problem of access, the government's financial funds mainly, "toll road system" about the national highway mileage less than 4%, reflecting the higher quality of road services.　　The main solution to the problem of fast and efficient, the charges are not for the purpose of profit, funds are mainly by bank loans, social financing to solve. At present, in the management of toll road, there are some problems, such as lack of transparency of information disclosure, nonstandard standards of implementation, and improvement of highway service quality.　　In response to these problems, the Ministry of Transport has conducted a number of studies, will be in accordance with the "adjustment structure, control scale, retreat and site, the unified loan system also, reduce standards, extend the period, the government guidance, strict supervision," the overall thinking, improve the "toll road systems" related regulations. Highway is the most extensive area in China, the deepest depth of access, the most strong public welfare transportation mode, is the lifeblood of the national economy. At present, 74.1% of the total freight volume of the whole society and 94.5% of the passenger traffic are based on road transport to complete. According to the introduction, the rapid development of China's highways benefited from the "loan Road, pay the repayment" policy.　　The existing highway network, 95% of the highway, 61% of the first road, 42% of the two-grade highway are built on the toll road, all the construction of toll roads nearly 80% of the total investment is through bank loans and fund-raising access. "There is no real free road in the world right now, not a charge or a tax." He Jianzhong said the United States established a Road trust fund for Road management and maintenance through the imposition of fuel taxes, tyre taxes, truck purchase taxes and heavy vehicle use taxes. Highway trust funds can meet the needs of highway development funds 70%.　　And the U.S. Highway network has now been formed, the fund 60% can be used to meet the needs of road maintenance, and China's special tax can only meet the construction needs of funds 18% and highway maintenance demand for 33% of the funds. According to He Jianzhong, road users pay is a widely adopted international policy. Developing countries basically rely on toll roads to build highways, and the proportion of highway charges in developed countries should be larger, and there is a tendency to expand.　　For example, France for 42%, Japan for 61%, Italy for 86%, Germany for 12 tons of freight cars to implement 100% charges, the European Union in 2012 will be a full toll on goods vehicles. "We must continue to improve the policy of toll roads." The function of toll roads should be diversified, and raising funds for construction is just one of them, and it also regulates traffic flow and optimizes transporttransmission mode, to ensure road safety functions. He Jianzhong said that the improvement of the function of toll road policy should be to achieve 4 aspects of the unity.　　The Ministry of Transport has the responsibility to learn from the public's views and aspirations, but also the confidence to better improve the industry's social satisfaction, but also according to the law to use the existing policy. In addition, He Jianzhong pointed out that the current high proportion of highway overload in China, a number of recent road transport departments of spot checks show that the vehicle overload ratio of up to 80%. In order to effectively control overloading, "Highway safety protection Regulations" from 4 aspects of the "hard recruit", such as strengthening the source of supervision, the production and sale of vehicles to implement supervision, stipulates that enterprises can only produce and sell vehicles in line with the national technical standards of motor vehicle safety. To further improve the inspection measures of the treatment of the super, the Highway management organization of the responsibility of the supervision and inspection of excess transport norms. At the same time, increase the overload of excessive penalties, within one year the driver has 3 times exceeding the limit record, the road Transportation Management organization may prohibit its commercial transportation. Road transport enterprises in more than 1 years of illegal transport vehicles exceeding the total number of freight vehicles in the unit 10%, will be ordered to suspend business rectification;
