Bridge closure in rain: Why the MA-1 towards Andratx collapses — a reality check

Answer

What should drivers in Mallorca do when the MA-1 is reduced to one slow-moving lane?

The safest response is to stay calm, keep a steady pace and avoid unnecessary lane changes. If possible, drivers should allow more travel time and follow official diversion signs rather than trying to beat the queue. On a route like the MA-1, aggressive driving usually makes the situation worse for everyone.
