Answer

Can tourist behaviour make road safety worse in Mallorca?

Yes, unfamiliar driving habits can make some Mallorca roads more dangerous, especially when visitors are using rental cars and following a navigation screen for the first time. If a driver does not recognise local road signs or misjudges a bend, the risk rises quickly. Clear signage and better advance warnings can help, but driver attention remains essential.
