Only solution. Cap the amount of cars allowed on the island. Greatly improve public transportation. Including fee reductions for residents.
Stan The ManHow do yoù know its an accident they are looking at?
Plus the same jams occur when an accident happens. People slow down to look at the damage. Called "Rubber Knecking " This again causes a Domino Effect that passes through the traffic jam until there are little or no cars passing by.
Once a jam occurs, you get the Domino effect as the jam just repeats itself throughout the constant stream of traffic. It only disappears with the reduction of traffic to very little traffic. With a surfit of cars and rental cars, and Mallorcas increasing affluence. These jams will not only continue, but will increase.
