Mallorca takes first step towards banning non-resident vehicles
The first traffic load study in Mallorca, presented in October 2024 by the island’s institution, reflects an ‘alarming’ increase in traffic on the island in recent years: in 2023, a total of 324,623 vehicles entered Mallorca with drivers, 108% more than in 2017. In addition, 55,000 more vehicles arrived as cargo (without drivers), bringing the total figure to 379,623.
