Tel Aviv streets empty on Yom Kippur

Begin and Ayalon Roads, are the busiest traffic arteries in out and around Tel Aviv all year around. For 25 hours, during the day of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish Calendar, these roads don't see even one car.
It is important to stretch that there is no law in Israel to prohibit driving a car during Yom Kippur, yet there is not one car on the roads, it is one tradition that is 100% respected.

Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a book, the Book of Life, on Rosh Hashanah, and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against other human beings (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one considers oneself absolved by God.

Leonard Cohen based his song Who By Fire of one of the gravest prayers in Jewish Yom Kippur prayer book:
Lyrics to Who By Fire:
And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?
