Travel time on the slow-protest convoy route has halved to about 20 minutes, compared to over 40 minutes during the previous day's demonstration, according to activist Chaim Cohen. The improvement suggests lower participation or smoother traffic flow Wednesday afternoon.
Traffic conditions on the slow-protest convoy route substantially improved Wednesday afternoon, with activist Chaim Cohen reporting a drop from over 40 minutes to 20 minutes for a normally quick journey. As The Zioneer reported Tuesday, between 1,000 and 2,500 vehicles had been expected for the demonstration; the shorter travel time suggests actual participation was lower, or that traffic management had improved. The protest convoy, organized by residents protesting the security situation and government policy, maintains a 50 km/h pace on major Israeli roads. No further details have been released regarding the route or duration.
