List of highways in Israel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of highways in Israel. In this context, "Israel" includes Israel proper, Area C of the West Bank, and the Golan Heights, because the Israeli highway administration maintains the highways in these areas.

There are 42 designated highways in Israel numbered from 1 to 99. Most of these are open-access arterial expressways, which may be entered from ordinary junctions. Some are limited-access freeways, which may be entered from interchanges. Three highways are freeways, four are partially limited-access freeways and partially expressways, and the other 35 are expressways. Highway 6, the Trans-Israel Highway, is the only toll road.

Two of the expressways (Highway 57 and Highway 60) are divided into several separate sections as a result of an IDF decree forbidding Israelis from traveling on certain stretches of these highways (see Notes below).

There is only one three-digit road in the country classified as a freeway, Route 431.

[edit] Notes

^ ^a ^b At the time of its designation Highway 57 was a consecutive highway, running from Netanya to Adam Bridge Border Crossing. With the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada an IDF decree forbade Israelis from traveling on the Nitzanei Oz – Hamra section, effectively splitting Highway 57 into two separate highways. Final designation of the highway is dependent on the final status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
^ ^a ^b ^c At the time of its designation Highway 60 was a consecutive highway, running from Beersheba to Nazareth. With the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada an IDF decree forbade Israelis from traveling on the A-Ram checkpoint – Atarot and the Tel Dotan – Jalame checkpoint sections, effectively splitting Highway 60 into three separate highways. Final designation of the highway is dependent on the final status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
^ Travel on the northernmost 24 km of this section of Highway 60 (Shavei Shomron - Tel Dotan) is recommended only with an IDF escort, due to security concerns.
