Four speed cameras in 500 meters: safety or rip-off on the Paseo Marítimo?

Answer

Is it still possible to walk and cycle safely along the Paseo Marítimo in Palma?

That is the main reason the city gives for the new controls. The promenade area has been redesigned with wider sidewalks, more space for cycling, and reorganized crossings, so slower traffic is meant to protect the people using it. Whether the camera density is the best way to do that is debated, but the safety goal is clear.
