Detours on the Paseo Marítimo: How Palma Can Ease Access to the Ferry Port

Answer

Why does traffic around Palma port get so slow during construction?

The port area brings together ferries, buses, taxis, delivery trucks, residents, and pedestrians in a very tight space. When one vehicle stops or a lane narrows, the effect can spread quickly and cause delays across the whole area. That is why even short works at Palma port can feel much bigger than a normal city road repair.
