From midnight on Sunday, the new 80 kilometres per hour speed limit on the Via Cintura in Palma will be in effect. Four reasons for the lower speed limit have been given: a reduction in pollution and a consequent improvement of health; a cut in noise pollution; a reduction in accidents; and fewer traffic jams.

Already now cars are doing 70-75 km/h out there to be on the safe side, which means the heavy trafic will search for the left side lanes, because they are obviously on a time table. If the socialist government wants to lower the noise from the road they should look for “Sound reducing asphalt” instead of lowering the production efficiency. Best way to protest against this is to take Paseo Maritimo when going from East to West side of Palma.....
90 would have made a lot more sense. I can now drive faster from i.e. the Via Centura to Bunyola (carretera Soller) than on the actual Via Centura. Seems odd.
