New Requirement on Mallorca: What the Emergency Lane Really Means — a Reality Check

Answer

What does the emergency lane rule mean for drivers in Mallorca?

Drivers are expected to create a clear passage for emergency vehicles by moving to the side of the road. In practice, vehicles on the right should move as far right as possible, while vehicles on the left should move left. The rule is straightforward on wider roads in Mallorca, but much harder to apply in narrow streets or places with parked cars.
