100-Euro Fine After the Ferry: Who Is to Blame?
What Palma Port Could Do to Warn Ferry Drivers Better
Better signs at Palma port and multilingual ticket notices could help Mallorca drivers avoid fines.

Answer
What kind of warning signs would help at Palma port for ferries to Barcelona?
Clear signs near the exit from the port, along the quay and at the parking area would help drivers understand when they are about to enter a restricted zone. Simple multilingual notices during ticket purchase would also reduce confusion for Mallorca travellers. The aim is not more bureaucracy, but clearer communication at the point where it matters.
