Answer

Why are junctions on Mallorca's secondary roads often dangerous for cyclists?

Many secondary roads on Mallorca bring together cyclists, delivery vans, commuter traffic and agricultural vehicles in a limited space. If visibility is poor, speeds are too high or a junction is confusing, a stop sign alone may not give road users enough time to react. That is why even familiar local roads can become risky very quickly.
