Permanent Daylight Saving Time: What It Would Really Mean for Mallorca

Answer

Would permanent summer time make Mallorca safer or less safe?

The answer is mixed. Lighter evenings could improve visibility for people out walking, dining or visiting the beach, but darker winter mornings could create more risk on school routes and during early commutes. Whether it feels safer would depend on how well Mallorca adapts with lighting, crossings and transport planning.
