Tiberias Offers Free Parking During Sukkot Holiday

Tiberias Mayor Yossi Ben-David has instructed municipal inspectors to suspend parking enforcement throughout the city during the Sukkot holiday, including Chol HaMoed and Simchat Torah. The mayor announced this decision to the city's business owners' committee, aiming to provide a more convenient shopping experience for residents and visitors.

This initiative is intended to boost foot traffic in the lower city and support local businesses. However, the municipality clarified that certain parking violations will continue to be enforced. These include obstructing traffic, parking in red-and-white zones, double parking, parking at bus stops, parking in disabled spots, and exceeding the free parking limit in orange zones.

The specific dates for the free parking period are not explicitly stated but are understood to cover the duration of the Sukkot festival and its associated intermediate days and concluding celebrations.
