On each weekday, some 600,000 vehicles use the Ayalon Highway, which serves as a fast metropolitan freeway for the millions of inhabitants of the Tel Aviv metropolitan region.
The Ayalon Highway is one of the best roads in Israel. Built to the highest standards, it enjoys a high standard of maintenance and supervision. It was designed as a freeway, with 4 to 5 lanes in each direction, from the Herzlia interchange in the north, to the Holon and Kibbutz Galuyot interchanges in the south. The section of the freeway to the Holot interchange will be completed shortly.
In January 2000, a traffic control system was inaugurated on the Ayalon Highway, the first of its kind in Israel, and one of the most advanced in the world. The system was designed and built with the aid of leading and experienced companies in the field, drawn from Israel and abroad. Similar systems have been installed on most of the freeways in the United States, Europe and Japan.
To see the map that shows what the current traffic is like on this highway (words are in Hebrew, but you will see the highway)
When you are on that map, just click on a camera logo which is around on different parts of the highway. It will then show you a live video feed of that specific section.
