Answer

What usually causes traffic accidents in Mallorca city streets?

In Mallorca’s urban areas, accidents often happen when a driver misses a stop sign, visibility is blocked, or traffic moves through a tight junction too quickly. In busy neighbourhoods, even a small mistake can lead to a serious collision because there is little room to react. Bus routes, delivery traffic and parked vehicles can add to the risk.
