Chaotic day on the Ma-19: How safe is the airport motorway really?

Answer

Why is the El Molinar junction on the Ma-19 so sensitive to accidents?

El Molinar is a key point on the Ma-19 because it sits close to Palma and the airport flow, so traffic builds up quickly there. When one lane is blocked, there is little room for vehicles to spread out or recover speed. That makes any accident at this junction feel much larger than it may appear at first.
