Driving and Speed Limits in Majorca

Driving and Speed Limits in Majorca

You are likely to encounter two types of drivers in Mallorca: nonchalant locals that can be safely identified by a cell phone pressed to their ear and British or Scandinavian invaders - also easily distinguished by the horror in their face when braving the chaotic Mallorcan traffic.

Our advice is to take the middle approach: be disciplined and cautios but don't get too nervous or surprised by local driving habits. Just take the lack of courtesy and not following the rules as part of Spanish folklore. After all - you are on holidays. So, don't use the inside lane of the roundabout just as locals don't (you will have difficulty to leave it) and don't stop abruptly in front of a Zebra (you might cause a traffic incident as the drivers behind you wouldn't expect you to do so) but be ready that the driver in front of you may stop abruptly (without pulling to the side) just to chat with a friend on a sidewalk.

Keeping this in your mind you will find out that driving in Mallorca is not so difficult after all and a car is surely the most comfortable means of transport for getting around on the island.
