From 1 June, Formentera will introduce rules for motorists driving and parking near Caló des Mort and Es Ram

foto 2022 es caló des mortThe Formentera Office of Mobility reports that between 1 June and 30 September motorists who drive and park on roads near Caló des Mort and Es Ram must follow certain rules. Rafael González, Councillor of Mobility, described the measure as a response to the high number of visitors to the area in summer, and said it aimed to minimise environmental impact and address issues seen in summers past around traffic, parking and emergency vehicle access.

Regulating vehicle access and parking

From 1 June to 30 September, an attendant will inform drivers that parking in Caló des Mort and Es Ram is not allowed and redirect them to the nearby urban area where parking is available. The rules will be duly signposted and rope fences have been placed around adjacent green spaces to prevent parking.

Drivers can stop briefly to pick up or unload passengers, and vehicle access will be permitted for people with reduced mobility, but motorists who wish to park must do so at the nearby town. Further, the attendant will have the authority to write tickets and remove vehicles that violate the rules. Formentera Local Police will also be able to intervene, as will the Civil Guard, until now the only authority with jurisdiction in this protected area.

The new rules come in response to a request from area residents.
