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

Answer

Why does traffic on Mallorca's Ma-20 get backed up so quickly?

The Ma-20 can jam up fast because it carries heavy traffic, has little room for sudden incidents, and leaves drivers with few escape options when a lane is blocked. Even a minor crash or a broken-down car can trigger a longer queue, especially during busy commuter hours around Palma.
