Tragedy in Coll d’en Rabassa: Child Killed on Sidewalk — Who Protects Our Pavements?

Answer

Why can sidewalks in Mallorca still be dangerous for pedestrians?

Sidewalks can become dangerous when cars leave the roadway, especially on streets with little separation between traffic and pedestrians. In Mallorca, the risk is higher in areas where families, shops, homes, and sports facilities sit close together and vehicles move too fast. Small physical barriers, better crossings, and slower traffic can make a real difference.
