If drivers would play nicely in the traffic (obey the law), it would help. Too bad there is no white line though – just a solid metal barrier.
We also know there is poor traffic enforcement.

Bottom line is simply big business and politicians looking after each other.

There ought to be an independent body of experts involved with major public projects; from proposal stage through to design, implementation and follow-up.

Toronto has a fast lane, a commuter lane that is used only by those with 2 or more riders. What happens is that speed is determined by the slowest driver. It ends up being “fast” because you don’t get blocked in traffic. It runs really smoothly. I use it every time I go to Toronto, with passengers. The trick is to enforce how it is used. The white line must be treated like a wall drivers can’t cross, and drivers must adhere to the rule of a certain number of commuters. I think 4 is too many. Three would be more reasonable.

There is only a single lane with emergency lane. Do you think the average Israeli driver will be happy to drive in single file, constant speed, without overtaking?
The predicted rate of traffic of 1600 to 2000 cars per hour (that’s 2.25 to 1.8 cars PER SECOND) is dangerous!

Accidents or breakdowns could bring all traffic to a stop, not to mention drivers being run over while tending to their vehicles…
Emergency vehicles will have difficulty responding to problems, especially if Road 1 is backed up too.

The park and ride area is within meters of the Tel Aviv railway line – yet nobody thought it smart to build a train station on the site? Trains would be a huge benefit to people entering the city, as well as reducing traffic and pollution.

And another thing: The fast lane “stole” a lane from Road 1, between Kibbutz Galuyot and La Guardia, reducing Road 1’s capacity at a crucial section. Could this have been intentional?

Looks like the fast lane’s owners/designers did not consider the human factor, road safety, and common sense.
