Transportation apartheid

From the New York Times Palestinians Fear Two-Tier Road System .

This is a classic problem exacerbated by Middle East conflict: the road serves different people than it burdens. It is further complicated because those it serves has been reduced as Palestinians were banned from the road in response to stone-throwing and drive by shootings. It is also complicated because the road was built under the guise of serving local Palestinian areas. The most recent solution is to build a different road for Palestinians.

Seems so sad. But true. Building a new road is crucial. Thank you for posting. People should be aware of such things.
