The city explained that this decision was made to alleviate the financial burden of travel during the holiday season by waiving toll fees on the privately funded roads managed by the city, following the government's announcement of toll fee exemption on expressways as a policy task for stabilizing people's livelihoods during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Accordingly, vehicles using the urban expressway can receive the exemption benefit by passing through the tollgate without taking a toll ticket from 0:00 on the 27th until midnight on the 30th.

The city expects that approximately 126,000 vehicles will benefit from the toll fee exemption during this Lunar New Year holiday.

Jung Myung-geun, mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "We decided to waive toll fees to ease the economic burden on citizens during the Lunar New Year holiday," and added, "We expect that this will create significant added value for the local economy due to an increase in visitors to local tourist attractions."
