The junction serves as a large transportation hub for dozens of Egged and Kavim buses.
On the southwest corner of the junction is Ashmoret Prison, a civilian jail.
The junction was the scene of the Beit Lid suicide bombing, a 1995 attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
It is planned that in the future, a large interchange will replace the current intersection.
