Teenager seriously injured on Ma-2110: Why this night road needs more protection

Answer

Why are country roads in Mallorca more dangerous after dark?

Many rural roads in Mallorca were designed mainly for vehicles, not for people walking home at night. When lighting is sparse and there are no sidewalks or clear shoulders, pedestrians can be hard to see, especially if they wear dark clothing. The risk rises further when traffic is still moving after local events or parties.
