The Mallorcan Council repeatedly fined the company Malla Publicidad for placing billboards in areas where the Highway Law did not permit them, according to sources from the PSIB (Spanish Association of Public Administrations) told ARA Baleares. However, when the Administrative Simplification Law was amended, the meaning of the concept of "crossing" contemplated in the regulations was also changed, the same sources point out. Article 36 of the Highway Law established that billboards could not be installed alongside roads and could only be placed in urban crossroads, and only on urban land. Furthermore, the installation of such billboards on rural land was completely prohibited.
