More Cars, More Traffic: How Mallorca's Roads Are Coming Under Pressure

Answer

Why does traffic in Palma affect nearby villages so much?

Palma’s roads are a hub for the whole island, so congestion there quickly spreads to surrounding routes and villages. When the main ring road slows down, alternative roads also fill up as drivers look for other ways in or out of the city. That is why traffic problems in Palma often become a wider Mallorca problem.
