Answer

How do night road closures in Palma affect traffic?

When a major road in Palma is closed at night, traffic is usually diverted to nearby streets such as Porto Pí or other alternative routes. That can cause delays, more noise and added pressure on surrounding roads. Drivers are best off checking for police closures and following official diversions rather than trying to cut through side streets.
