Traffic jam on the Ma-20: Two incidents bring Palma's ring road to a temporary standstill

Answer

Why can one accident block the opposite direction on the Ma-20?

On the Ma-20, traffic often moves so tightly that a crash or breakdown can affect more than just the lane where it happened. When drivers brake suddenly and queues build up, the disruption can spread and temporarily stop traffic in the opposite direction as well.
