The Council of Mallorca will create the primary high-occupancy car lane on the island within the autumn.
This may cowl a 4.2 kilometre stretch on the highway from the airport exit to the Palacio de Congresos heading into Palma. It is going to be on the left-hand lane and might be clearly marked by paint on the highway. Automobiles with only one individual might be prohibited from utilizing the lane as might be autos weighing greater than 3,500 kilos – this can be a nationwide regulation for these lanes.
The DGT visitors directorate believes that the measure will cut back visitors jams and profit highway security. The Council of Mallorca, in the meantime, needs to encourage car-sharing to be able to cut back the variety of autos on the highway and to chop air pollution and accidents.
The councillor for mobility, Iván Sevillano, estimates that 66% of the autos utilizing this stretch of highway are single occupancy. If this quantity had been to be decreased by 20%, he would contemplate the lane to be successful.
