The management at Palma Son Sant Joan Airport has acted to put an end to drivers waiting in the outside lane of the access road to the airport rather than using the 'express' car park when collecting people.
This practice, which has become increasingly common at peak times, especially the late afternoons, causes tailbacks and a bottleneck. On Wednesday, barriers were installed in the outside lane. Drivers will therefore have to use the express car park, where parking is free for fifteen minutes, or the main car park.
Security personnel are being deployed to tell any drivers who try to stop by the barriers that they have to enter the express car park.

They gotta create hindrances in order to make the tram idea seem viable. Lol.
Great idea, but picked up my daughter last night and had to wait 10 mins to get into express parking, as too many car still waiting but this time blocking the narrower road. Not just Spanish cars, but rental cars and German cars.
This has been something that infuriates me. When English/German ex-pats pick up their friends & family they always use the express car park. It is only the Spanish (who are so tight its untrue) who wait on the road (which is dangerous) Glad its been stopped, the Spanish will have to put their hands in their pockets for once!
This practice has been going on for about 2 years and has continually gotten more and more out of control happy to see a deterrence to it but the people have known about this problem for a long time did nothing and now start of the tourist season and time to do something about it and have to say that solution is not going to work we see , Joke
