Third traffic death in a few days: Do Palma's night streets need to be safer?

Answer

Why do industrial areas around Palma feel riskier at night?

Industrial areas around Palma often have fewer pedestrians by day but more heavy vehicles, vans, and shift workers at night, which changes the traffic rhythm. If lighting is limited or junctions are unclear, the chance of mistakes can rise even on roads that seem familiar in daylight.
