Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have traveled throughout the country during the holiday season, and traffic jams and heavy traffic have been felt on the roads in recent days.

"These are loads that are not remembered as such," said Zeev Gutman, head of the National Center for Traffic Management of Netivei Israel. "In our opinion, the unusual loads are an expression of the public's sense of coming out of dealing with the Corona. "This year, very few Israelis spend the holiday season abroad, which means that there are about half a million Israelis who are currently traveling and making their way on the roads, which as a result is more congested."

"The people of Israel went on a journey in full force and splendor," Guttman adds. "We work closely with the Israel Police, after completing a thorough and comprehensive preparation based on a regular and comprehensive work plan - preparing the road network, operating technological means to control traffic lights from the traffic management center. "Operating our free service mobility system spread across the country to provide a quick response to vehicles in need of assistance. In addition, dozens of professional teams are located across the country, across 98% of the intercity roads built by Netivei Israel - all to reduce traffic congestion as much as possible."



In conclusion, the head of the company's National Traffic Management Center reads: "In any road hazard you encounter or, God forbid, if you get stuck for any technical reason with your vehicle we will come to help and of course for free - please report us to 2120 * to send you a professional team. From the same problem. "
