Stan The ManI doubt the tourist cars blocks up the roads around Palma, it's more the locals going to and from work who are the "culprits". How about taxing the locals having more than one car, that might be an other idea, to limit the cars on the roads, how come it's only the tourist who should be blamed, no matter what?
I would like to see less cars on the roads during the Summer. But the argument that it puts Hire Car prices up is perhaps a good reason to limit the number in use on the Summer roads. They contribute to many traffic jams,particularly around and in Palma. It will be interesting to see what happens to prices and Electricity supplies etc. when it is only Electric Hire Cars. Also when Hydrogen Cars are brought into use eventually.
