Solar eclipse and Playa de Palma restricted zone: Who can actually drive in — and what gaps remain?

Answer

What short-term measures are proposed to ease travel around Mallorca during the eclipse day?

Proposals include three to four temporary park-and-ride sites outside the restricted area, with shuttle buses every 10–15 minutes. There would also be clearly marked drop-off zones, dedicated rules for people with mobility impairments, multilingual information, a hotline for businesses, and a joint operations center with the airport and police.
