Answer

Why are Mallorca country roads more dangerous for motorcycles at dusk?

On rural roads in Mallorca, motorcycles can be easy to miss when light levels drop and visibility gets weaker. Narrow vehicles, junctions with limited sightlines and fading road markings can all make reaction times more critical. That combination becomes especially risky near the end of the day, when traffic is still moving but conditions are already changing.
