中國收費公路世界之最

The number of toll stations and high fees increase the cost of transport and logistics.

據《中華工商時報》報道，有數據顯示，全世界的收費公路總里程達14萬公里，其中的10萬公里在中國，占總里程的70%。

2008年國家審計署的報告顯示，2005年，18個省市的4328個收費站共收取過路費5100億元。

數量眾多的收費站和高額的過路費加大了物流成本。在中國，物流成本占國民生產總值高達21.3%，而在發達國家，這只占10%左右。

Most of world's toll roads in China

Statistics show that of the 140,000 km of toll roads across the world, 100,000 km, or 70 percent of the total, are in China, according to a report in China Business Times.

A 2008 report by the National Audit Office showed that, in 2005, 4,328 toll stations on roads in 18 provinces and municipalities collected a total of 510 billion yuan.

The number of toll stations and high fees increase the cost of transport and logistics. In China, logistics costs amount to 21.3 percent of GDP compared to around 10 percent in developed countries.
