Answer
What makes streets in Palma dangerous for pedestrians when cars lose control?
A street can become dangerous when there are narrow lanes, poor sight lines, parked cars, and no physical barrier between the road and the pavement. In parts of Palma, that means even a brief loss of control can put pedestrians at serious risk. The problem is often not just driver error, but also how the street is designed.
