Talk:Highway 5 (Israel–Palestine)

funny symbols

What's with the weird graphics? They seem to be something used in Germany, not Israel. --Shuki 18:39, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

It just shows the type of interchange or junction... The images are taken from the German Code of the Road. Ofcourse these symbols are not in use in Israel, but they're useful in providing additional information about each interchange. Yairp 21:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

No refferences

This page has no refferences at all, but I can't mention it in the page. Odemirense (talk) 18:18, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

in Israel.....?

This article need to be clearer about the part which is on occupied Palestinian land, Huldra (talk) 23:54, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

The article doesn't say "in Israel", it says it's "one of Israel's main highways". It also says quite clearly that it connects settlements in the West Bank, and the green line border is shown on the map and mentioned in text when describing the bit connecting the settlements. I've added the fact that the West Bank is in the Palestinian territories though. Number 57 10:18, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

The article is actually quite clear in regards to the parts of the designated road that go past the green line - it is even color coded on the interchange list. Note that the road section that is beyond the green line is not as wide or as traveled as the section West of the green line (and specifically West of route 6) - which is a major highway (forming essentially a belt highway around Tel-Aviv). East of the green line it is smaller - I believe at the moment 2 lanes in each direction.Icewhiz (talk) 16:41, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, until Number 57 added it, the word Palestine, or Palestinian territories, wasn't in the article. And the article still doesn't have a single source! Im tempted to adding a unreferenced tag at the top, but Ill give you some time first to find sources.... Huldra (talk) 23:28, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

This seems to be a translation of the Hebrew article on hewiki. The eastern portion of the road is a later addition and is not always referred to as 5, though it is designated as a continuation of 5, this is not an odd ommission though it should have been rectified.Icewhiz (talk) 04:14, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
