The road in the accompanying photo is from the comer of Siesta 1 to the right and one of the two Ceres blocks to the left. It doesn’t do the situation full justice because, for example, you can see spaces where cars aren’t parked. There are times when both sides of the road are full. There’s room for only one vehicle, which naturally creates a bit of a problem if there’s one coming in the other direction - and God help any driver who’s confronted by a refuse truck.
In addition, there are the cars, like the ones here, parked on the corner by Siesta 1. The danger is obvious. It’s impossible to get a clear view of the road, and so a vehicle taking that corner too quickly could collide with another or, worse still, plough into a pedestrian (there’s nowhere else to walk).
Veterans of the area can’t recall the parking ever having been like this. There can also be cars parked on the road that circles the small pond in front of the Ceres block. This has previously been unheard of. Apart from the abysmal condition of the roads, the parking here is absolutely chaotic. There is no other word for it. The time is long, long overdue for all stakeholders - Bellevue, the Siestas and town hall - to sit down and come up with sensible and amicable solutions.
But don’t go holding your breath.

Many years ago +/-20 we had to pay aan extra amount as owner in Siesta 2 to get the road repaired . That also turned out a patch up job !,!
The truth is there are too many cars and not ( and never) enough infrastructure to support them. But with no train link to the Capital, or elsewhere, especially the airport, then cars will rule in Alcudia.
