During the Spring Festival in 2026, coinciding with peak travel times, a series of control measures will be implemented on Taiwan's highways to ensure smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion. These measures include 【High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Control】, 【Ramp Closures】, 【Toll Adjustments】, 【Shoulder Lane Use】, and 【Provincial Road Traffic Diversion Control】. If you plan to drive on national highways during the holiday, such as traveling to Eastern Taiwan through the Xueshan Tunnel, pay special attention to these measures.

【High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Control】
During specific periods, only passenger vehicles with three or more occupants, including the driver, will be allowed to use the HOV lanes. This mainly targets the northbound entrances of National Highway No. 5 and certain entrances of National Highways No. 1 and No. 3.

【Ramp Closures】
From February 10 to February 14, some highway ramps will be closed at different times, including certain southbound entrances of National Highways No. 1 and No. 5, as well as designated northbound entrances.

【Toll Adjustments】
During specific periods of the Spring Festival, tolls on national highways will be temporarily suspended. Additionally, a uniform toll rate with a 20% discount will be implemented during certain periods.

【Shoulder Lane Use】
During the Spring Festival, specific times and sections will allow driving on the shoulder lane to alleviate traffic congestion.

【Provincial Road Traffic Diversion Control】
Traffic diversion control measures will be implemented on 25 congested provincial road segments, including planning alternative routes and providing travel time information.
