The protesters at Karkur Junction in northern Israel now number over a hundred, with more arriving regularly.
Accompanied by several drummers, during green lights the activists move into the crosswalks, chanting slogans and waving flags, before moving back.
A half dozen police officers are present at the scene. Passing cars and trucks keep up a constant din of horns.
Meanwhile, police say they are questioning a suspect at Zichron Yaakov Junction who placed tires on the road and was found to be in possession of a flammable substance.
