Gra.
No Gra, tolls do not apply to just Expressways (Gaosu Gong Lu's)... there are tolls on many provincial highways too, usually found when entering or exiting one jurisdiction to another on those highways, though many in recent times have been removed as road and infrastructure costs were added as taxes to fuels purchased at the pump. Notwithstanding though that there are some Expressways where motorcycles are allowed (e.g. around Beijing) and motorcycles pay the same toll charge as a passenger car.

So in relation to the fee waiver, essentially where any motorcycle is allowed on an Expressway and normally charged accordingly, then the fee during the Spring Festival is waived. It unfortunately doesn't mean that motorcycles have free access to all expressways where they are normally "not allowed". It just means that where motorcycles are normally granted access and would normally be required to pay a toll, then this is waived. That's all.
