      Tourist Crunch Closes Old City to Visitors' Cars


      Jerusalem has decided to close off the Old City to non-resident vehicles because of an expected one million tourists during the Passover holiday. Residents' cars and public buses will be allowed to enter the area, and others are being directed to free shuttle transportation.

      The free service will be provided between 9 a.m. and midnight from Teddy Stadium, opposite the Malcha Mall, Ammunition Hill in Ramat Eshkol, Safra Square and the Supreme Court. For more info about traffic changes in Jerusalem, click here.
