University Access Roundabout: More Safety — But Is It Enough?

Answer

Why do local planners in Mallorca want a roundabout instead of the current junction near the university?

The current junction creates conflict points, especially when drivers turn left or traffic gets stuck in peak hours. A compact roundabout is seen as a way to calm traffic and reduce collisions, although it will only work well if the design also supports walkers, cyclists and buses.
