Pere Garau: Market and delivery traffic — why the coexistence became dangerous

Answer

Why do narrow streets make market traffic harder to manage in Mallorca?

Older market areas in Mallorca often grew before modern traffic rules, so the streets were never designed for vans, shoppers and loading activity at the same time. Narrow lanes leave little margin for error when vehicles need to turn, reverse or stop briefly. That is why clear rules matter so much in places like Pere Garau.
