Checkpoint 300 is the only point where Palestinians holding PA ID cards can cross into Israel coming from the south (from the Bethlehem region). It is only one of three checkpoints into Jerusalem that they are allowed to use (see Checkpoints, Part 1: Severing Jerusalem) and the only one that serves the entire southern West Bank. An estimated 15,000 Palestinians pass through this checkpoint daily. Those holding PA ID cards must pass through on foot.
