Answer

Is it common for Mallorca appeals against traffic fines to take a long time?

Delays in administrative appeals do happen, and they can leave drivers waiting for months without a decision. In Mallorca, that delay becomes especially frustrating when the fine was based on a camera image and the driver says they were following police instructions. The lack of a quick answer can make even a small fine feel much harder to resolve.
