The designated regions include national expressways, busy freight corridors along regular national and provincial highways, as well as major urban agglomerations such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone.
