In the West Bank, Palestinians and Israelis use different colored license plates. Palestinian vehicles have green or white plates; Israeli vehicles have yellow plates. This makes it easy to see from afar whether a vehicle is carrying Palestinians or Israelis. The Israeli army uses this to monitor which kind of person is using which kind of road, and to determine which cars to pull over. Since the only Israelis living in the West Bank are Jewish, and the Palestinians enclosed in the West Bank are Muslim & Christian, this amounts to one color for Jews and one for Christians & Muslims: segregated license plates depending on religion and ethnic background.
