Answer

Is the Formentor road closure likely to reduce traffic in Mallorca?

It should reduce private-car traffic on the narrow road to Cap de Formentor, but it will not solve Mallorca’s wider tourism and traffic problems. A key issue is whether enough buses, clear information, and good parking alternatives are in place. Without those, congestion may simply move to nearby areas such as Port de Pollença.
