Hi,
I have been driving the way from Ramat Gan to the north of Israel so many times during the past half a year, it feels like driving to work. One things that helps during this 3 hour driving are the Refreshment stops volunteers run, mainly the one in Yokneam , but also others.
The one in Yokneam is set on both sides of the road to the north, next to the bus stops, and all you have to do is park in the bus stop for couple of minutes and grab something to eat, drink or read (it not legal to stop on those locations, but not policeman will write you a report once you see you are a Miloimnik, a reserve duty soldier).
At first I stopped to stretch a bit (I have back pains and the chiropractor asked to stretch every half an hour of sitting), but once I stop a volunteer comes with a glass of juice, a dish of home made food or just a bottle of water – and you cannot refuse 
Apart from those, there are also refreshments stop opened by the ministry of transportation (one on the Arbel lookout and one in Bikat Netufa Valley), one near Ami’ad junction and probably many more I do not even know of
Take Care

The tables and benches, and the stop from within.
The stop on the way to the north
A tank graffiti on next to the refreshment stop on the way to the north, I am not quite sure what kind of tank it is (and if it is a real tank anyway)
A memorial sticker for Captain Roi Nahary z”l. The splinters of our country are better from the world flowers. It caught my eye as it the name (and rank) of one of my former Company commanders.
