When Trucks Can No Longer Overtake: What the New Rule Means for Mallorca

Answer

Can traffic rules push heavy vehicles onto smaller village roads in Mallorca?

That is a real risk if restrictions are not coordinated well. The concern is that trucks may search for alternative routes through quieter places such as Petra or Sa Cabaneta, which could affect local quality of life. Good planning is needed to prevent side streets from becoming unintended diversion routes.
