pretty much, but green signs can also be placed on intercity roads. Many long roads aren't freeways, like the road to Eilat, the current road to Beer-Sheva, etc.

There are many roads that I would call "expressways". They have no at-grade crossings, and multiple lanes, but lack some characteristics to be called freeways. Those are also marked by green signs. Roads like that are Road 2 from Haifa to Tel Aviv ( Blue sign, blue shield but no freeway mark), Road 4 at the Geha part, between Ganot, and that 4-5 interchange, I forgot it's name, ( green sign, red shield, no freeway mark)
a couple of others also come to mind.

These are a bunch of pics I shot on the way from Ben Gurion Airport to
Nazareth Illit (in the north).
They were taken through the windshield of a vehicle, so sorry if some of them
aren't very clear.

Just found some more pics I shot when driving with friends to the Kinneret.
The pics are of roads near and around the Kinneret (Lake Tiberias).
In the last two pics, you can see the Golan Heights.

Never been to your country but one thing always impresses me about Israel and that is the clean cut planned out road network, at least from what I've seen.

Heh, unfortunately I don't have any more pics of roads, i posted everything
i have. But since i like transportation, and would like to see more pics of roads
and highways in Israel, i'm joining your request :)

Comon those of you who live in Israel, next time you go for a drive, take your
camera with you :D

lol i think i found that thread, where you took some pics while driving :)
Btw, is there a search functionality on these forums? because i cant find it
(i guess it was taken off to save the server some processing)

Hey guys,
Unfortunately this thread has long been dead, but since I like highways so
much, I'll try to revive it :)

For those of you who are interested in Israel's highways and roads in general,
I found a really great video made by someone random on Google Videos, which
is essentially a 40-minute drive through a part of Israel. Although it's long and
the quality isnt great, I think it demonstrates most types of roads in Israel
(urban, inter-city, freeways, etc.), and many road signs and traffic lights in
particular, really gives you a feel of driving in Israel. And you also get to see
some of the more aggressive side of Israeli drivers, i.e. when changing lanes :D

Most of the high speed roads depicted are non-freeway (since they contain
traffic lights), although there is also a short ride on a freeway at around the
23-minute mark into the video (indicated by a blue sign). Around the 10-min
mark there is a railway crossing... I dunno why i mentioned it, why not :)

Not something fascinating or amazing, but if you are interested about driving
in Israel, this will give a very good overview, enjoy! :)

P.S. if you have any questions about driving in Israel and perhaps some
driving rules that may be different from your country, fire away.. lets revive
this thread a little :)
