I totally agree with Ulla. There are too many cars on this Island. I doubt the Government can do anything. But it is another aspect of increasing wealth here. Perhaps Electric Cars when compulsory may reduce the amount on the roads. But the real answer is hydrogen power for all vehicles,with just water coming from their exhausts and high costs.
Mallorca blames the tourists for the increase in traffic when the truth is that it's the locals are the problems. Trying to tackle that problem will be interesting to see what the local government wants to do. I guess nothing.
