Traffic on 431

Last week the new traffic lights at the junction of Avnei Chen and 431were installed. Usually the first weeks of a new traffic light are complicated and cause traffic - the traffic light sensors, that are supposed to sense if there are cars or not, stopped working and needs to changed. According to the residents of the Avnei Chen neighborhood, there is so much traffic in the morning that causes up to a 15-minute wait. One of the residents suggested putting a blinking orange traffic light so people can turn right without having to wait at the traffic light. The suggestion was brought to Orna head of the traffic engineer in Modiin and is being considered. In response, the municipality of Modiin says that the junction will reduce the traffic in the future for the Avnei Chen and Meginim neighborhoods.
