Driving in Mallorca
- The motorway ring (Ma-20) and main spurs (Ma-13, Ma-19, Ma-15) move traffic efficiently. Most scenic inland and coastal routes are narrow and slow.
- The speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph) on motorways, 90 km/h (55 mph) on secondary roads and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns.
- Roads in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains have tight curves. Give way to buses and cyclists.
- Mallorca has no toll roads. Fuel stations accept most international cards.
- Blue-lined parking zones (marked "ORA") require a parking ticket during approximately 09:00–14:00 and 16:00–20:00. Overnight parking is often prohibited in high season.
- The island uses roundabouts instead of intersections. Enter only when the lane arrow points towards your exit.
- Height barriers are common at beach parking areas. Look for alternative camper parking before entering.

- Summer fire risk is high. Portable grills are banned outside designated BBQ areas.
- Tap water is safe to drink but has a mineral taste. Use service area taps for better taste.
