Answer

Why are some Mallorca roads more dangerous at night than during the day?

Roads can feel more dangerous at night when lighting is poor, markings are hard to see or traffic is moving fast on unfamiliar stretches. In Mallorca, this can be a bigger issue on connecting roads and outside the main urban grid. Wet surfaces, damaged signs and tired drivers can add to the risk.
