Road congestion

In some ways the local authorities were right trying to push motorists toward public transport but this has proved unsuccessful. The car is still king in Majorca and even though there are fewer tourists about and as a result fewer hire cars, the tailbacks continue, so it proves clearly that the roads are not even adequate for the resident population let alone visiting tourists. At one stage there was talk of building a second ring road around Palma but this was later shelved and there has been talk for many years about building a train service direct to the centre of Palma from the airport. All these plans must be reconsidered again because we can’t continue with these long tailbacks. The local authorities need to act and fast because otherwise we will be in the slow lane.
