Cliff Accident at Port d'Andratx: A Near Fall and the Big Question of Road Safety

Answer

Why are accidents on Mallorca's country and coastal roads still a concern?

Many of these roads were not designed for today’s mix of local traffic, rental cars, cyclists, and visitors heading to scenic viewpoints. Where maintenance, barriers, and markings are inconsistent, even a small driving error can lead to a serious incident. That is why safety on Mallorca's rural and coastal routes remains a public concern, not just a matter of individual caution.
