Answer

Why do experts say Mallorca needs structural traffic calming, not just police controls?

Police checks can stop individual drivers, but they do not always change behaviour over time. Structural traffic calming, such as better road design and fixed monitoring, can reduce speeding more consistently and make streets safer on a daily basis. In Mallorca, that matters on roads where tourism and local life overlap.
