Plants instead of asphalt? A reality check on the green belt idea for the Vía de Cintura
Why Traffic Reduction Matters for Palma’s Ring-Road Plan
A tunnel for Palma’s ring road would need traffic reduction measures, or the city could stay just as congested.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Would reducing car traffic be part of a plan to cover Palma’s ring road?
Yes, a tunnel project would make little sense without measures to reduce traffic at the same time. Better bus links, rail connections, cycling corridors and parking management would likely be needed to stop the underground road from simply carrying the same traffic load.
