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

Answer

Could removing terrace markings make problems worse for people with limited mobility in Palma?

Yes, that is one of the concerns raised by residents and businesses. If the boundary is marked only with small studs, older people, parents with pushchairs or visually impaired pedestrians may miss them more easily. Any new system in Palma will need to balance appearance with accessibility.
