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

Answer

Why is Palma removing the yellow terrace markings from café and restaurant areas?

Palma's city administration says the yellow ground markings are no longer visually suitable for the city centre. The change is also meant to support a newer, less intrusive way of marking terrace boundaries. The practical challenge is keeping public space fair and easy to control once the painted lines disappear.
