According to the blueprints attached to the resolution, the road should serve a number of colonies built in Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley and is meant at creating facts on the ground. Some of the colonies that will benefit from expanding road are: "Pisgat Ze’ev" and "Mish Adam" colonies which are already linked by the road. Roads are some of the most known means used by colonists to carry out their colonial plans that aim at disconnecting any continual Palestinian existence.
