Bridge closure in rain: Why the MA-1 towards Andratx collapses — a reality check

Answer

How badly do rain and maintenance affect traffic on the MA-1 in Mallorca?

The combination is especially disruptive because maintenance narrows the road and rain slows everyone down. Drivers leave bigger gaps, change lanes more carefully and brake more often, which reduces the number of cars that can pass each hour. On the MA-1, that can quickly turn into a long tailback.
