Limit on non-local cars in Mallorca — a reality check

Answer

How would Mallorca decide which cars are allowed in and which are not?

That is one of the hardest parts of any restriction. The rules would need to define whether vehicles are controlled by origin, licence plate or length of stay, and they would also need clear exemptions for tradespeople, carers, suppliers and cross-border workers. Without simple criteria, the system could become difficult to enforce and create a lot of administrative work.
