Management of highway tolls should be further strengthened says a commentary in Beijing News. The following is an excerpt.

Beijing's municipal legislators recently passed a new regulation on roads to take effect on October 1. It states that highway charges should end after its duration expires. This notice should be made public and on time by the municipal government.

The charging problems of toll roads have long existed. Not long ago, Li Jinhua, the auditor-general, said serious problems had been discovered in the construction, operation and management of toll roads in the course of auditing.
