Hidden speed cameras in the Balearic Islands: safety or trap?

Answer

Do hidden speed cameras in Mallorca help reduce accidents?

Yes, lower speeds can help reduce accidents, especially on narrow roads where pedestrians, cyclists, and local traffic mix. In Mallorca, that matters on coastal roads and village approaches, particularly in summer when roads are busier and drivers are often less familiar with the area. The problem is not the idea of enforcement itself, but whether it is used in the right places.
