Motorist ends up on pedestrian bridge to Son Espases – how does this happen?

Answer

Why are pedestrian and bicycle access routes in Mallorca sometimes hard to understand for drivers?

Some access points are designed to stay open for people on foot, cyclists, deliveries or emergency vehicles, which can make them visually similar to normal roads. If signage is weak or lighting is poor, drivers may mistake them for regular access routes. That is why clear markings and physical barriers matter in busy areas like Son Espases in Palma.
