Limit on non-local cars in Mallorca — a reality check

Answer

Could Mallorca really limit non-local cars without causing more problems?

A limit on non-local cars could ease pressure on the roads in peak season, but it would also create legal, technical and practical challenges. Mallorca is not the same as Ibiza: the island is larger, traffic patterns are more complex, and daily commuting is a major part of the picture. Any rule would need clear exemptions, solid enforcement and a careful balance between traffic relief and everyday mobility.
