Head-on Crash on the Ma-11: Three Injured — and the Uncomfortable Question of Greater Safety

Answer

Why are head-on crashes still a problem on Mallorca’s mountain roads?

Head-on crashes remain a concern on some Mallorca mountain roads because they are narrow, bendy and often used by drivers who are unfamiliar with them. When visibility is reduced or attention slips, there is very little room to correct a mistake. That is why road design, markings and driver behaviour all matter.
