General

Road no. 1 serves as the central artery and access gate to Jerusalem. This road is defined in the regional zoning plan as a “highway”, but in practice does not meet the current functional criteria that define a highway.

The section from Sha’ar Hagay to Jerusalem is comprised of 2 lanes in each direction, and is already incapable of supporting the traffic volumes presently using this section.

The road includes a narrow median, is bordered by narrow shoulders and by safety guardrails that do not comply with the new, currently accepted standards.
