Photo: Consell de Mallorca.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During this period, access to the Formentor peninsula <strong>from Ma-22210 will be restricted from 10 am to 10.30 pm at night.<\/strong> This timetable was extended last summer to avoid the uncivic behaviour that occurred two years ago, when the measure was extended to 19:00.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <strong>private vehicles will be able to access the road until ten o&#8217;clock in the morning<\/strong> and, from that time onwards, they will be allowed to pass until the parking spaces on the beach are full, which on the first day of access control today, Thursday, happened shortly before one o&#8217;clock.<\/p>\n<h2>Two levels of restriction<\/h2>\n<p>Only authorised vehicles, public transport, emergency services and bicycles will be allowed to circulate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>first level of restriction<\/strong> <strong>(from km 2 to 8.7)<\/strong> starts at the Port de Pollen\u00e7a roundabout and extends to the beach (hotel car park).<\/li>\n<li>The<strong> second (from km 8.7 to 19.600)<\/strong>, from the beach to the lighthouse. Authorised vehicles will only be allowed to park in the areas set aside for this purpose, and parking on the roadside verges will be prohibited.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Department of Mobility and Infrastructures has explained that the aim of this regulation is to protect an environmentally sensitive area with high landscape values. They also want to promote a different type of mobility and access to the island&#8217;s natural sites. Which is why they recommend using public transport to get to Formentor.<\/p>\n<h2>Automatic access control barriers<\/h2>\n<p>In coordination with the DGT, work has begun on installing automatic barriers to control access more efficiently and provide better information to users. In addition, signage will be reinforced with cameras and information screens. <strong>The barriers will open automatically if there are still spaces available in the car parks, and will close when the capacity is full<\/strong>. They will also open automatically for all authorised vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Mobility and Infrastructures will hire a service of informers who will be close to the barriers in order to resolve any doubts. And there will also be a campaign to disseminate and inform about this regulation to traffic in the media and on the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.conselldemallorca.cat\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consell&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Bus service<\/h2>\n<p>Transports de les Illes Balears (TIB) will provide a bus service to facilitate access to the entire restricted zone.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Line 334<\/strong>, which runs along the Alc\u00fadia &#8211; Port de Pollen\u00e7a &#8211; Faro de Formentor route, has stops at Mirador d&#8217;Es Colomer, Formentor beach, Cala Figuera-Cala Murta and the Formentor lighthouse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those arriving by car in Port de Pollen\u00e7a are recommended to <strong>park along the ring road where there are three bus stops<\/strong> to go up to Formentor: Port de Pollen\u00e7a, B\u00f3quer and Can Singala.<\/p>\n<h2>Levels of restriction<\/h2>\n<p>Vehicles that meet the requirements to be able to drive through the restricted zone must request the corresponding accreditation at least three working days in advance <strong>by emailing formentor@dgt.es.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On the first level<\/strong>, residents of the stretch, and visitors of residents, as well as vehicles transporting people with reduced mobility, taxis, VTC, occasional transport coaches and those authorised to drive on the second level may be authorised.<\/li>\n<li>To request access to the lighthouse, the procedure is the same as in the previous case &#8211; <strong>by e-mail, but the request must always be made in advance.<\/strong> Only residents, health, civil protection and emergency services, security forces and vehicles transporting people with reduced mobility may drive from km 8.7 to km 19.6.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Formentor peninsula is a specially protected site, declared a World Heritage Site<\/strong>.
