The historic centres of Alcudia and Puerto Alcudia will be transformed into pedestrian zones where vehicle access is limited to residents with garages in the affected streets and delivery services during restricted hours. The Alcudia town hall has revived the "Illa de Vianants" project, initially proposed last term but never implemented, aiming to reduce traffic in the walled old town and enhance safety and mobility.
The plan includes a full ban on parking within the perimeter, controlled vehicle access, and fines of €200 for those breaching the rules.
Automatic semi-retractable bollards will be installed at the four main entry points to the old town, located at Camí de Ronda where it meets streets Sant Jaume, Carrer d’en Serra, de la Roca, and Carrer del Progrés. In the Puerto Alcudia centre, restrictions are placed on access to the seafront promenade where not managed by the Port Authority, specifically on Barques and Mariners streets.
A licence plate recognition system will monitor and authorise vehicles belonging to residents, suppliers, and public services. Surveillance cameras will record any unauthorized entries. Delivery vehicles will only be allowed to load and unload until 10am; after this time, deliveries must be made on foot.
According to Joan Sendín, Councillor for Police and Tourism, "The aim is to improve pedestrian safety, reduce traffic, and protect the historic centre’s heritage, prioritising people over vehicles while promoting urban coexistence, quality tourism, and environmental sustainability by cutting emissions." The project’s funding partly comes from the Council of Mallorca and supports public road protection and tourist signage.
