Nearly 350,000 follow a West Bank Telegram group for road updates
WIRED reports Anas Hattab started Road Conditions in 2019 after finding that major mapping apps didn't account for checkpoints.
TLDR
WIRED reports that nearly 350,000 people follow Hattab’s Road Conditions group to navigate the occupied West Bank. Drivers send reports of checkpoint closures, delays, and military or settler presence; Hattab and volunteer moderators check them before posting updates. The group fills a gap left by popular navigation apps that do not mark many barriers or account for roads Palestinian drivers cannot use.
