After accident with Jaume Anglada: How safe is Avenida Joan Miró?

Answer

What makes scooters and mopeds especially vulnerable in Palma traffic?

Scooters and mopeds have less protection than cars, so even a brief mistake by another driver can lead to severe injury. In Palma, this risk is higher on busy roads with narrow lanes, limited lighting or fast-moving traffic. Riders often need to be especially visible and defensive, particularly after dark.
