Coachman Falls on Passeig del Born: Questions About the Safety and Future of Carriages

Answer

Are horse-drawn carriages still safe in Palma’s city centre?

Safety in Palma’s historic centre is a real concern because carriages, buses, delivery vehicles and pedestrians all share very narrow streets. When traffic is busy and visibility is limited, small disruptions can quickly create risky situations. That is why the discussion is not only about the carriages themselves, but also about how the street space is managed.
