Cement cloud on the Via de Cintura: Why a loose pallet load is more than just morning frustration

Answer

Why does traffic on the Via de Cintura affect so many routes in Palma?

The Via de Cintura is a main ring road around Palma, so problems there spread quickly to nearby streets and detour routes. When traffic slows on this road, the port road and Avenida Gabriel Roca can also fill up fast. That is why a single incident can be felt across much of the city.
