Seriously injured on Palma's Paseo Marítimo: An accident, many questions

Answer

Why are zebra crossings in Mallorca sometimes harder to see at night?

At night, zebra crossings can be harder to read because street lighting, glare from nearby lights and general darkness all affect visibility. On busy roads in Mallorca, a crossing that seems clear in daylight may be less obvious once the light levels drop. That is why lighting directly over crossings and clear road markings matter so much.
