Ayalon Highways Co. Ltd. (Netivei Ayalon) is an Israeli government-owned company founded in 1970 to plan and construct Route 20, the central highway traversing the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. Originally established as a joint venture between the State of Israel and the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, it became a fully state-owned entity in 2017 after the government acquired the municipality's shares. The company's headquarters are located in Rishon LeZion, and Orly Stern serves as CEO.

The company plans, manages, and executes mass transportation and infrastructure projects across Israel's central metropolis. Key ongoing projects include the construction of the "Fast Lanes" (Nativim Mehirim) network for public and shared transit, the OfaniDan regional bicycle highway system, and the addition of HOV lanes (Nativ Plus). Beyond traditional civil engineering, Ayalon Highways integrates transportation technology by operating the national traffic management center and implementing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) for real-time traffic monitoring, toll collection, and public transit prioritization.

As a fully domestic entity, all operations and employees are based in Israel. Operating from its Rishon LeZion headquarters, the company employs hundreds of direct staff, including civil engineers, traffic engineers, urban planners, project managers, and systems technology specialists. The company oversees a massive network of external contractors who handle the physical construction work, and it operates alongside other state infrastructure companies like NTA (Metropolitan Mass Transit System), Netivei Israel, and TransIsrael.
