High-speed drive on the Ma-13: What must happen to make 180 km/h rarer on Mallorca

Answer

Why is speeding on the Ma-13 in Mallorca such a serious safety issue?

The Ma-13 is not a wide motorway with long sightlines; in several sections it has one lane in each direction, limited overtaking and weaker visibility. On parts of the road near Sa Pobla and Alcúdia, that creates a real risk for commuters, farmers, motorcyclists and pedestrians nearby. When drivers go far above the limit, the danger increases for everyone using the road.
