175 km/h on the motorway to Alcúdia – a wake-up call for safer roads?

Answer

Why do some Mallorca roads seem to encourage speeding?

Some roads can feel open and easy to drive fast on, especially if the layout, sightlines or lane design do not naturally slow drivers down. In Mallorca, road safety concerns are often linked not only to individual behaviour but also to design issues such as limited visibility, weak signage or stretches that feel too permissive. That is why enforcement alone is not always enough.
