Blockade on the Ma-10: Why a Flat-Tire Bus Paralyzes the Tramuntana

Answer

What practical measures could reduce mountain road closures during Mallorca's peak season?

Measures include mandatory coach safety checks (like visibility, tyre pressure, and brakes) with operator documentation, and staggered schedules to prevent simultaneous large-vehicle movements around midday. Installing passing bays or legalizing lay-bys, plus fast, shared communications among drivers, dispatchers, and the Guardia Civil, could help responders reach incidents quickly.
