Is a 1.5‑meter sign enough to protect cyclists in Mallorca?

Answer

Is it common to see rental cars overtaking cyclists too closely in Mallorca?

It can happen, especially on roads where visitors are unfamiliar with local conditions. Mallorca receives many tourists who drive rental cars and may not know the island’s cycling traffic patterns or road rules well. That is one reason local campaigns also focus on better information for visitors.
