Green passage refers to a green passage specifically opened for fresh agricultural product transport vehicles that are loaded, not overloaded, not overloaded, and have complete and valid documents, allowing them to pass free of charge

Green passage refers to a green passage specifically opened for fresh agricultural product transport vehicles with complete and valid documents and no overloading, which can pass through various highways and bridges for free. It can not only improve transportation efficiency, ensure the freshness and quality of goods, but also reduce the burden on car owners to a certain extent. It is a positive measure.

In order to ensure that the dividends of Green Pass are actually distributed to compliant and legal Green Pass owners, relevant departments have also introduced a series of rules and regulations, which can be said to be quite strict. Only when all of these standards are met can Green Pass policies be enjoyed. For example, the loading capacity of fresh agricultural products must account for 80% of the approved loading capacity of the vehicle, cannot be overloaded, cannot be mixed with other goods, the vehicle and transportation qualifications are complete, and the goods must be within the green list. Various types of highways and bridges and culverts.

Although it may be stricter, it is understandable that it is free and beneficial. The problem is that even if the car owner strictly follows the legal and compliant transportation of the goods marked on the list, they may still face fines or additional tolls, such as in the following cases:

1. The transportation of garlic was blocked through the green passage, and the toll collector said that the standard for garlic is to bring leaves, otherwise it is not considered fresh vegetables and cannot be taken through the green passage.

Garlic is clearly and freely listed in the latest Green Pass product catalog. It is theoretically possible to go through Green Pass, but unfortunately, the catalog does not indicate whether garlic in Green Pass needs to bring leaves. In the words of netizens, is it not garlic sprouts with leaves?

2. When a driver transported a vehicle of scallions and passed the highway toll station, the duty toll collector said that the scallions had no roots, were incomplete, and did not belong to the green passage. They refused to take the green passage.

In the agricultural product catalog, scallions belong to green products, while scallions without roots are semi processed products, so they cannot be passed for free. The toll station duty personnel also clearly stated that if there is a dispute among the car owners, they can file a reconsideration.

Actually, when you think about it, in the agricultural product market, where is there anyone who only sells scallion leaves? So there is indeed controversy over whether this car of scallion leaves belongs to Green Pass, and it is understandable that it is not free.

3. When transporting lettuce, the car owner removed the leaves from the entire vehicle in order to facilitate loading. The car owner thought that even if the lettuce had no leaves, it would still be a vegetable, but unexpectedly, it was stopped when taking the green passage.

The staff stated that lettuce without leaves, especially a cart of lettuce without leaves, is already a deeply processed vegetable and does not meet the requirements of the greenway. No matter how much the driver argued, it was useless, and in the end, he paid a toll of 102 yuan.

4. A truck of bamboo shoots was transported through the toll station, but the toll station charged 72 yuan for the fresh bamboo shoots.

The car owner stated that they were fresh bamboo shoots transported from Yunnan, but after running for thousands of kilometers, the upper layer inevitably lost moisture and wilted. There were no issues with other stations along the way, but I was blocked at this one alone, saying that dried bamboo shoots are not fresh agricultural products, but rather dried bamboo shoots and cannot be taken through the green passage.

The car owner expressed that it is very difficult to accept this and has to go to the relevant department to file a complaint. They are also unsure of the results of the subsequent verification and handling.

5. The experience of this car owner is similar to that of the previous one, but it is also because the goods are not fresh and they require payment of tolls.

The car owner pulled a load of goods to send from Sichuan to Fujian, and on the return journey, in order not to return empty, he picked up a load of carrots. Because he had been driving for a long time and knew that vegetables did not need to pay a toll when getting off the highway, he only charged the owner 800 yuan, which was considered to earn gas money and save on tolls.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped while getting off the highway. The toll station claimed that the carrots were a bit wilted and did not meet the standards for passing through the green passage. To pass through, they had to pay a toll of 4700 yuan, otherwise they would all be unloaded and inspected.

6. Xian Jiao does not belong to the pepper incident. Master Li, the owner of the car, transported a batch of chili peppers through a toll station. The toll station staff claimed that the chili peppers on the car were not included in the "green channel" directory for the transportation of fresh agricultural products and could not be exempted from tolls.

Master Li felt very puzzled, "Isn't Xian Jiao a type of chili pepper?" According to Master Li, he had already passed through two toll booths before and had not encountered this problem. Obviously, Xian Jiao is a type of chili pepper and can go through the "green channel". How can we stop here?

For this reason, Master Li and toll station staff stood in a stalemate here for over two hours. Finally, the staff of the high-speed toll station asked a toll station staff member of a similar leader for permission before Master Li could pass for free.

Afterwards, Master Li also left a message on the official website of the Ministry of Transport asking if the chili peppers belong to the "Catalogue of Fresh Agricultural Products". The response he received was: as long as the chili peppers are fresh, they belong to the "Catalogue of Fresh Agricultural Products".

7. Apple banana is not a banana. A freight driver was driving a truck carrying 20000 kilograms of apple bananas when he was stopped by management staff at a highway toll station, demanding payment of tolls.

The staff stated that the apple bananas transported by the vehicle were not bananas and did not belong to the category of Green Pass products. They refused to allow the driver to take the Green Pass on this grounds, and ultimately the driver paid a toll of 499 yuan.

According to the "Catalogue of Fresh Agricultural Products", bananas are included in the Green Pass product list, but there is no breakdown of banana products.

There are countless cases like this: cherries can go through the green line, but cherries cannot; Napa cabbage can go green, but baby cabbage can't; Pineapple can go green, but pineapple cannot; Tomatoes can go green, but not Cherry tomato Even goods that are clearly listed on the Green Pass list will be informed that they do not belong to the Green Pass category due to various issues.

Even if some cases can be resolved through communication, Green Pass transportation has high requirements for timeliness. The more time it takes on the road, the goods on the vehicle may deteriorate or even become corrupt. The original shipping cost is less, and if some shipping costs are deducted due to damage, the profit will be less. In addition, due to inconsistent implementation standards, rough inspection at toll stations, and withholding payments from vehicles, car owners are extremely distressed by the word "green pass" and have spread the saying "kill and don't pull green pass".

The original intention of Green Pass is to reduce logistics costs, promote the smooth transportation of fresh agricultural products, and maintain the freshness and quality of products. Therefore, relevant departments have developed a detailed catalog of fresh agricultural products as a reference to ensure that compliant vehicles can be exempted from vehicle tolls. However, in the actual implementation process, due to the lack of unified and detailed implementation standards, some toll stations have privately explained and applied Green Pass product standards, This resulted in a counterproductive effect to the original intention of Greentone.

We call for the early establishment of a unified system and detailed list of national green channels to reduce confusion and inconvenience caused by inconsistent regulations in different regions. When transporting Green Pass, car owners should strictly follow relevant rules and regulations, be legal and compliant, and do not resort to deceptive methods to avoid toll collection. Otherwise, it will harm the interests and development of the entire industry.
