Palma airport motorway will have a new 800-metre lane, the fourth, to unblock the entrance to Palma and improve safety and fluidity on this road. The extension is part of a package of measures being promoted by the Council of Mallorca to improve the entrances to the capital and reduce traffic jams on the Via de Cintura, including a new road at Can Blau, changes in signposting, improved tarmac and the reorganisation of the exit from the Molinar roundabout.

According to some studies, adding more lanes does not reduce the traffic due to an "induced demand" effect. Expanding the tram and train network could perhaps be a money spent better.
Can the authorities please get on with expanding the railway network before more roads. Many people both property owners residents and visitors would greatly benefit from the expansion of the railways on Majorca. Even the old railway to Santanyi should be restored to make travel better and reduce congestion. The trains must be safe, clean and reliable. Things like the Soller train should run much more often and later with additional rolling stock added in peak times.
Whereas I understand the need for a better road link. How I wish the money used could have built a train and tram link to Palma, and around the whole Island.
