Car hits cyclist on MA-13 near Sa Pobla – who protects cyclists?

Answer

Why do cycling accidents happen on Mallorca roads like the MA-13?

Accidents often happen where roads carry both fast-moving traffic and cyclists but do not offer enough protected space. On the MA-13, narrow shoulders, poor visibility in curves and heavy seasonal traffic can all increase risk. Investigations usually focus on the specific cause, but road design and driver behaviour both matter.
