Four speed cameras in 500 meters: safety or rip-off on the Paseo Marítimo?

Answer

Are the new speed cameras on Palma’s Cathedral Street really about safety?

The city says the camera network is intended to reduce accidents on a busy urban road with more pedestrians, cyclists, and crossing points. Critics worry that the density of cameras feels excessive and could be seen as revenue-focused rather than safety-focused. Without clear public data on accident rates and results, the debate is likely to continue.
