Significant traffic delays were still experienced however, as traffic was allowed to move in only one direction at a time, because the Israeli authorities regularly searched vehicles at the checkpoint, or because there continued to be intermittent closures.
尽管如此，交通堵塞的情况仍然十分严重，因为只允许车辆向一个方向移动，而且以色列当局继续在过境点定期搜查车辆，时常实行关闭。
