THE island’s new road plan could be approved at the next session of the Balearic Island Parliament in September as regional government leaders have come to an agreement on developments over the next few years. One of the principles of the future road plan, which covers road development on Mallorca until the year 2024, is the removal of any schemes for motorways and for them to be replaced with dual carriageways as this would, reportedly, serve the dual purpose of minimising the impact of building on landscape and at the same time limit the speed of car users.
