Four speed cameras in 500 meters: safety or rip-off on the Paseo Marítimo?

Answer

Why are there so many speed cameras on Palma’s Paseo Marítimo?

The city says the cameras are there to improve safety on a stretch that now has wider sidewalks, better crossings, and more cyclists and pedestrians. Drivers are being monitored for speeding, and one camera also checks for red-light violations near Avenida Gabriel Alomar. Not everyone agrees with the approach, but the official argument is road safety rather than punishment.
