The Mallorca Council has awarded a major infrastructure contract to deploy a comprehensive traffic monitoring network consisting of 210 control devices across the island’s road system, along with five additional cameras in key ports. This strategic initiative aims to enhance mobility management, strengthen road safety, and generate accurate data to support future vehicle regulation policies.
The project incorporates advanced technology capable of identifying vehicle types, license plates, speed levels, and noise emissions. Specifically, the plan includes 105 devices for speed monitoring and vehicle counting, another 105 dedicated to surveillance, and 20 sound measurement units to assess traffic-related noise. This system will provide a more precise and real-time overview of traffic dynamics throughout Mallorca.

A significant portion of the deployment focuses on the Tramuntana mountain range, where 32 control zones will be established. Each zone will feature integrated monitoring equipment designed to oversee infrastructure usage, vehicle flow, speed, and acoustic impact. Installation in this area is scheduled to begin in June, with prior coordination underway with local municipalities to identify priority locations based on previously detected traffic issues.
Regarding port infrastructure, authorization has been requested to install two cameras in the Port of Alcúdia and three in the Port of Palma. These devices will collect key data on vehicle entry and exit flows, including foreign-registered vehicles and rental cars. The information obtained will be instrumental in shaping future legislation aimed at regulating vehicle access to the island.
The rollout will be executed in phases, starting with preparatory works between April and May. The first installations are expected in June, with full system deployment scheduled to be completed by October 2026. The project also includes upgrading existing infrastructure, effectively doubling the number of monitoring points and significantly enhancing traffic analysis capabilities.
Data generated by this network will be shared with relevant traffic authorities, enabling more coordinated and effective management. Additionally, the system will contribute to improved road safety, better infrastructure planning, and a deeper understanding of traffic pressure across the island.
