Soller in permanent gridlock: Why the bypass isn't progressing

Answer

Why is traffic in Sóller so bad at peak times?

Traffic in Sóller builds up because the bypass carries a lot of through-traffic and there are narrow sections that slow everything down. Morning and late afternoon are especially difficult, with buses, cars and pedestrians all trying to use the same limited space. Parking on the hard shoulders and a lack of clear pedestrian routes make the situation worse.
