Crash in Son Gotleu: Five Injured — How Safe Are Palma's Intersections?

Answer

Why are bus accidents in Palma more concerning in residential areas?

Bus accidents in residential areas are especially worrying because buses are large, and nearby pedestrians, cyclists and terrace users may be exposed even if they are not directly involved. In places like Son Gotleu, narrow streets and crowded sidewalks leave little margin for error. That is why traffic design and visibility are so important around bus routes.
