In the past two days, the topic of recovery of the national highway has entered the public opinion field of public opinion.According to China News Weekly, recently, some places have begun to restore or build new national highway toll stations, which has aroused widespread society.

On August 26, the website of the Shandong Provincial Government issued approval and agreed to set up a toll station in Jinan Huanghe Bridge, with a fee period of 25 years.It is understood that the Jinan Yellow River Bridge is a new bridge under construction, and its charges meet the corresponding regulations.Earlier, Jilin and Hubei Province also had the National Highway Bridge and the first -level highway.

Although the history of the cancellation of charges for the cancellation of the national and highway, it is not long, that is, more than ten years ago, in many people's cognition, ordinary highways such as national and provincial and highways have long been regarded as public welfare.Products, even some new national highway charges meet the corresponding regulations.

In the context of challenging many local finances, if the national highway restart charging has become a trend of imitation of the competition in various places, it will not only make people unacceptable, but also deviate from the original intention of the development of the support of the country.

After all, the current toll road management regulations stipulate that highway development should adhere to non -toll roads, and properly develop toll roads, which has clearly clarified the main position of non -toll roads.

Data from the Ministry of Transportation also show that from 2009 to the present, except Xinjiang, other provinces have canceled the government -repayment loan second -level road charges, reducing a total of 150,500 kilometers of toll roads, which are close to the end of 2023 nationwide.The mileage of 177,000 kilometers has been opened to traffic.This is a great result.

In fact, the free access to highways such as national and provincial and highway has greatly reduced the burden on the people and corporate citizens, reduced the logistics costs of the whole society, accelerated the speed of economic operation, and promoted the construction of a unified market in the country.These positive changes are obvious to all, and it also facilitates people's daily life.

At present, the main carrier of my country's transportation and logistics is highway freight.Data show that road freight volume accounts for 74%of social freight volume, and highway transportation costs account for 52.6%of transportation costs.

According to surveys of the China Logistics and Procurement Federation, in terms of road transportation costs, the fuel costs, traffic fees, driver wages, and vehicle depreciation expenditures of the team's corporate corporate corporate enterprises are about 34%, 30%, 20%, and 16%, respectively.Pass fee is the second largest expenditure after fuel costs.

This also means that once the existing free national and provincial highway re -start charges, it will inevitably increase the cost of road transportation and increase logistics costs.This is obviously inconsistent with the inherent requirements of the current economic and social development.

The Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee announced on July 21 this year on further deepening reform and promoting Chinese -style modernization, and clearly put forward "reducing the cost of logistics of the whole society";Logistics costs are required.

These opinions are in the same vein, all of which convey the meaning of cross -blocking, cost reduction and efficiency, and also make the reduction of logistics costs become mainstream policy requirements.In this context, if some places continue to fight the national highway charges, adding charges from the continuous traffic flow of Sichuan, will undoubtedly run counter to the relevant requirements, which will also affect corporate decisions.

Some experts said that some developed regions are more inclined to set up along the free road to reduce transportation costs.If there are toll roads around, it is not conducive to the agglomeration and development of enterprises.That is, whether the highway is free has become a content of the business environment. Do not underestimate it, and it cannot affect the long -term development for the benefit of the moment.

In addition, the restart charges such as national and provincial and other highways will also have a negative impact on the development of the cultural tourism industry in various places.In recent years, in order to attract tourists, there have been many distinctive ordinary highways.Many tourist routes, tourist belts, and tourist corridors are connected in series from national, provincial, and county roads.

Such as the famous National Highway 318, National Highway 219, Duku Highway, etc., all of which are "stringed on the road", all the way.Once the charging starts, the consideration should be lost in advance.

When the national road is free, it has become a habit of cognition. Restoring charges is no longer just an arithmetic question for the government to increase fiscal revenue, but it will become a social problem.It will widely affect all aspects of economic and social development and the emotions of the people.In particular, wealth should be continuously innovative through more open, smoother, and more convenient business environment.

With the increase in the mileage of highway construction in my country, the gap in the demand for maintenance management funds is also expanding, and it is also true that the income of traffic fees is not enough.However, it is also necessary to see that charges will not only impact the logistics industry, but also likely to reduce the frequency of road use due to bypassing, and it is difficult to meet the expectations, which will cause waste of resources and need to be treated with caution.

Of course, you must also face the challenge of the current highway management funds facing the gap.In reality, if it is only to reduce daily maintenance expenses or delayed maintenance, it is not a long -lasting move to maintain the status quo, and it is impossible to last.Restarting charges can cause many problems.

Therefore, the current plan is to promote the construction of a multi -channel funding guarantee mechanism mainly based on public financial investment. At the same time, it will guide localities to promote the integration of industries and development during tourism, and to borrow each other.In addition, you may continue to optimize the allocation of maintenance resources, promote intelligent maintenance technology, strengthen refined management of highway assets, and continue to reduce the cost of road maintenance.

In the final analysis, after a while, it is still a choice question.In related decisions, whether the local governments and the competent authorities should discuss more carefully. From the perspective of the impact of the policy on business environment, industrial development, and cultural tourism consumption, more overall considerations.
