Tolls shall be charged in respect of the normal-loaded and the over-loaded portions respectively according to the prescribed proportion and formula.
Pursuant to the relevant arrangement, the implementation of the Adjustment is scheduled to take place from 00:00 on 26 June 2015. The expressways which are operated and invested by the Group in Guangdong Province fall within the range of the Adjustment, including Meiguan Expressway, Jihe Expressway, Yanba Expressway, Yanpai Expressway, Nanguang Expressway and Qinglian Expressway, which are owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as Shuiguan Expressway, Shuiguan Extension, Yangmao Expressway, Guangwu Project, Jiangzhong Project and GZ W2 Expressway which are owned by the Company's associates.
The implementation of the classification standard of vehicles and Toll-by-Weight for lorries on expressways in Guangdong Province will be conducive to the progress of establishing a nationwide electronic toll collection network for expressways and improving the traffic efficiency of the expressways. Meanwhile, it is positive to comprehensive management on over-loaded vehicles and protection of roads and bridges.
