Answer

Does expensive parking in Mallorca mean fewer cars on the road?

Not automatically. Higher parking prices can reduce car use only if people have realistic alternatives such as public transport and cycling infrastructure. Without those options, expensive parking mainly becomes another cost for drivers rather than a real mobility solution.
