A Cap on Cars in Mallorca: Emergency Law or Rush Job?

Answer

Why is Mallorca considering restrictions on cars now?

The main reason is traffic pressure, especially at peak times when the road network is already close to its limits. The island council says more vehicles are adding to congestion, and it wants to reduce the strain on Mallorca’s roads. Supporters see it as a way to protect everyday mobility and quality of life, while critics worry about rushed lawmaking.
