Why are cars getting through a ‘closed’ highway 1?
Reports are conflicted for the past two hours over whether highway 1, the main road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, is closed.
Police announced its closure in the last hour, but drivers are still coming through the road.
At a guess, the conflicting reports may suggest that police are announcing the closure before it is strictly necessary — snowfall has begun, but above-zero temperatures in the Jerusalem hills are preventing buildup — to empty the highway as much as possible before temperatures drop and the real closure goes into effect.
