where were the police
I'm always afraid to drive on Hagana Boulevard, especially late at night. Drivers are flying there and some even do speeding. There's no enforcement, no cameras, no police. I'd rather do the whole detour to Carmel from Hefen Street and Zionism or Stella Road, just not drive on Hagana Boulevard. It would be crazy to drive there, it must be dangerous for pedestrians.
By mid-February 2025, there were already 58 deaths on the roads – a 10% increase over 2024.
In Haifa, you should only drive inside. People are crossing between cars, headphones on their heads, Wolt, running amok, and the list is long. Be careful, every man for himself. It's roulette. Finally, an electrical cable fell on the sidewalk in a puddle of rain. A few days ago, I called 106. They said it wasn't their responsibility and that I should call the relevant authorities. Why is there an emergency hotline? Does Yona know about the disrespect? This is Haifa. Shame on you, an old city that can
The massacre on Haifa's roads continues. 4 dead within a month.
There is no response from the police regarding enforcement.
There is no response from the Ministry of Transportation regarding the illegal driving of courier motorcycles, against the direction of travel.
There is no comment on the import of huge vehicles that obscure the road and are not suitable for Israel.
There is no response from the municipality regarding the lack of enforcement of illegal parking on sidewalks and roads.
Nobody will learn anything. Everything will continue as usual.
In the case of flight protection, mobile devices or cameras should be placed there.
