Hit-and-run in Cala Mesquida: Why is the Accused Free Again?

Answer

What safety measures could improve coastal road safety on Mallorca’s east coast, from Capdepera to Cala Mesquida?

Immediate measures discussed include more night and early-morning patrols by the Guardia Civil on routes with high pedestrian traffic, temporary speed limits, and visible radar enforcement in the summer. There are also calls for clearer hotel staff rules around alcohol and commuting, better signage, and designated running or cycling lanes separated from the road. Transparent information for victims’ families about investigation status is also highlighted as part of a safer, clearer response.
