Fatal head-on crash near Alcúdia: What needs to change on the MA-3460?

Answer

Why are roundabouts on Mallorca sometimes treated as accident hotspots?

Roundabouts can become risky when drivers approach too fast, miss warning signs or fail to notice changes in the road layout. At night, the danger increases if lighting is weak or markings are faded. In Mallorca, a roundabout can look routine during the day but become difficult to judge in poor visibility.
