IL toll roads : Carmel tunnel at Haifa is toll road, For highway 6, I should yet investigate the system used. Is there some toll stations like in France or Italy ?

Highway 6 has no toll booths/stations, only electro-optical system that allows the vehicle to continue movement without any interaction with the road operators, basically you drive on it and then you get a mail with the bill later that month.
The highway was the 2nd highway in the world (after one Canadian) to use this system, now it's more popular.

Very good implementation of cars plates.
About Saudi Arabia: very nice to read that you could add it in future.

You wrote about possible mapping norther for connection with Promods, did you mean Turkey?

Another thing regarding highways and stuff that take away your money - speed traps:
This is how they look:

Some new type of camera (never seen it myself):

Also there are signs in some places that show your speed and tell you if you are over the limit (think SCS added those in one of the DLCs).

The difference is that this type also shows a smiley.

Will we have some region specific cargos to deliver?

Can I humbly suggest sand? Because that's a real thing (the local sand isn't suitable for racecourses).

Sorry, bit off-topic, but you would probably be the best guy to also map Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia ;)

There is already a mod with Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The cons of this map is that some fixes are needed to work with Promods. and that Armenia is not built on that map. All the fixes you can download on http://www.roextended.ro/ The map itself is YKS turkey.

He isn't saying he doesn't know there is already a map for those countries.
He is simply saying Michel would do it better. Which adds up, since YKS is a terrible map.
Cheers.
Let's get back on topic though, namely - Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, (Saudi Arabia).

Hello, Salaam, Shalom,

Also, about a few questions I have read :
- Thanks @ZeBigLOL for the info about tolls on IL highway 6. I must now see if we have something to implement such tolls, so awaiting this, this highway will remain free.
- About speed cameras, I can't create those new models, because I fear I'm a rather poor modeller ;-) But some other are placed on map.
- Special cargo will eventually come later.
- Northern connexion with Promods could indeed be via Turkey, but this is long term and still subject to change. Expect first more of the Egyptian northern coast.
