Fatal accident in Alcúdia: Who is responsible — and what needs to change?

Answer

Are roundabouts in Mallorca difficult for drivers who are unfamiliar with local roads?

They can be, especially at night or in places with heavy tourist traffic. In Mallorca, roundabouts are usually manageable when signage, lighting and lane guidance are clear, but confusion can happen if a driver is tired, distracted or relying too heavily on a navigation app. Rental cars and unfamiliar traffic habits can make the first hours on the road more demanding.
