Toll-free highway trials start

The government stopped collecting tolls on 50 sections along 37 rural expressways at midnight June 27 in line with a key promise made by the ruling Democratic Party of Japan in last year's election, and traffic immediately surged.

In the pilot program that will last until March 31, all expressways in Okinawa and most sections in Yamagata, Shimane and Oita prefectures will be toll-free for all vehicle types, regardless of whether they use the electronic toll collection system. The program will cost ¥100 billion. (Kyodo News)
