Jogger killed, driver fled: A reality check on safety on Mallorca's coastal roads

Answer

How does road design impact pedestrian safety on Mallorca's coast?

Many coastal stretches near Capdepera and Cala Mesquida are narrow with limited space for pedestrians. There is a lack of sidewalks and other infrastructure on many secondary roads, which makes safety more challenging. Proposals include adding safer edges, guardrails where feasible, and mirrors at tight spots to help drivers see pedestrians.
