Answer

What safety measures can prevent cars from entering pedestrian-only areas in Mallorca?

Physical barriers such as retractable bollards or gates can stop private cars while still allowing authorised access. Better lighting, clearer signs and visible road markings also help, especially around places like hospitals in Palma. In practice, the best protection usually comes from combining several simple measures rather than relying on one sign alone.
