Among the types of vehicles listed in the said addendum are ambulances, fire engines, vehicles used by the Prison Service for operational tasks or for escorting prisoners, vehicles of the ZAKA organization, and others. It should be noted that under Section 41 of the Transport Ordinance, the list of vehicle types specified in the Sixteenth Addendum may be amended by Regulations that the Minister of Transport and Road Safety is authorized to enact with the approval of the Knesset Economic Affairs Committee. For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the Law, it is established that a body operating vehicles of such types shall transmit to the Licensing Authority in the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety a list of the registration numbers of such vehicles and shall update the list from time to time. It is also established that such registration numbers shall be available for review by every local authority, so that it may avoid issuing traffic tickets unlawfully.
