Limits for Incoming Rental Cars: How Realistic Is the Debate About Ferries to Mallorca?

Answer

Will limiting rental cars arriving by ferry actually reduce traffic in Mallorca?

Possibly, but not on its own. The traffic problem in Mallorca is shaped by many factors, including local commuting, parking pressure, delivery traffic and tourist movement after cars arrive. A ferry limit could help, but only if it is based on solid data and linked to broader transport measures.
