Alarm on the Paseo Colón: How safe are Mallorca's promenades after nightfall?

Answer

Should Mallorca promenades be closed to cars at night?

In some busy resort areas, limiting car access at night could reduce the chance of dangerous driving and make promenades feel safer. The best solution depends on the location, because some streets need access for residents, hotels or services. Many locals would likely prefer targeted closures or barriers at sensitive points rather than a blanket ban.
