Car hits cyclist on Ma-13 near Sa Pobla – How safe are Mallorca's country roads?

Answer

Why are accidents more common on Mallorca's main connecting roads?

Main roads in Mallorca often combine faster traffic with everyday local movement such as tractors, delivery vans, and commuters. That mix can leave little margin for error, especially where the road layout offers only narrow shoulders or short visibility distances. When drivers, cyclists, and other road users all share the same space, small mistakes can quickly lead to collisions.
