Published: May 02, 2026
Answer
Are older people at higher risk when crossing streets in Palma?
Older people can be more vulnerable in busy traffic because they may need more time to cross and may be less visible to drivers. In Palma, that makes well-designed crossings, longer signal times and good lighting especially important. Safer street design helps not only older residents, but everyone walking in the city.
