Palma wants to abolish the yellow terrace markings – what this means for restaurateurs

Answer

How will terrace boundaries be checked in Palma if the yellow lines disappear?

The city will need other ways to show where a terrace is allowed to end, such as metal studs, better mapping tools or clearer site-specific markings. The main issue is that inspectors must still be able to measure and verify the area without confusion. That makes enforcement more complex, especially where the boundary is not obvious at first glance.
