Route 38 is a major catastrophy! Whilst the “new” road into and out of Ramat Beit Shemesh is dual carriageway all the way, the Israeli authorities allow tinkering with route 38 to “improve” the road. There is a small fortune being spent on roads all over the country, doubling route 38 should be a #1 priority to start immediately. Prospective mayoral candidates for Beit Shemesh please note.
