The Tel Aviv Municipality announced yesterday (Sunday) that it will join other municipalities across the country in operating automatic systems for enforcing unnecessary vehicle honking. The system, which will become operational in the first quarter of 2027, will be placed in 11 locations in the city, including Rabin Square and Bograshov Street. The fine in Tel Aviv will be 250 shekels for a first honk and 500 shekels for a repeated honk. In Petah Tikva, which already operates a similar system, the fine is 245 shekels with no double fine.
