The Council of Mallorca has presented an appeal to the Supreme Court to try to definitively eliminate the bus/HOV lane on the Ma-19 motorway, the road that connects Palma with the airport. This was announced on Monday by the Island Councilor for Territory, Mobility, and Infrastructure, Fernando Rubio, at a press conference. He explained that the legal argument for the appeal is based on technical reports from the Island Council that support the removal of the lane, which should be "binding," just as they were when it was implemented. Rubio argued that this infrastructure "has not produced the desired effects" and that, therefore, the Island Council has opted for this legal route after the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) issued a ruling just a month ago in favor of maintaining the lane. In any case, the implementation of the bus/HOV lane has been suspended since 2024 due to various road infrastructure works on the island. Once these are completed, it should be reinstated unless the courts decide otherwise. The regional minister also announced that new works to improve safety on the highway median will begin "shortly" and that work on the first section of the second ring road will start in a few months.
