Speeding

Traffic police officers were deployed on Highway 60 in the south as part of an operation against speeding. A 19-year-old new driver was caught driving at 201 km/h in a 90 km/h zone, attempted to escape by turning off his vehicle's lights, and was subsequently arrested.

The Traffic Division of the Israel Police is updating the enforcement thresholds for speed cameras, which will come into effect in the coming days. The move is part of the ongoing effort to combat road fatalities, which have claimed 270 lives since the beginning of the year.
