The Capdepera Town Hall has reminded that on the upcoming August 1, the semester change of the parking signage will take place, meaning vehicles must park on the opposite side of the street.
The Capdepera Town Hall has issued a notice to drivers in the municipality: on August 1, the current semester of parking signage ends, and all vehicles parked on the affected streets must move to the other side of the road.
The municipal regulations establish a biannual alternate parking system to facilitate street cleaning and circulation. For six months, cars park on one side of the street; when the semester changes, they must switch to the opposite side. Non-compliance may result in penalties.
The council reminds that the deadline is August 1. From that day onwards, drivers who leave their vehicle on the previous side may be fined. This measure affects all roads included in the parking signage ordinance.
The notice comes ten days in advance so that residents can plan the change. The Town Hall recommends checking the vertical signage on each street, which indicates the allowed side for each semester.
This practice, common in many municipalities in Mallorca, aims to optimise parking space and ensure access for cleaning services. In Capdepera, the semester change occurs every February 1 and August 1.
Drivers who have questions about which side they should park on can consult the municipal website or visit the Local Police offices. The Town Hall emphasises the importance of complying with the regulations to avoid inconveniences and financial penalties.
With the arrival of summer and the increase in the floating population, the council makes a special appeal to visitors to pay attention to the signage. The semester change coincides with the peak tourist season, so a higher influx of vehicles is expected.
The municipal ordinance establishes fines of up to 90 euros for parking on the prohibited side. Additionally, improperly parked vehicles may be towed if they obstruct traffic or cleaning services.
The Town Hall reminds that the semester signage is clearly indicated on each affected street, with panels showing the designated side. Drivers should pay attention to the colour or orientation of the signs to identify the correct side.
To facilitate the transition, the Local Police will intensify monitoring during the first days of August, although the council relies on citizen cooperation. The goal is to avoid penalties and ensure orderly traffic coexistence.
This measure does not affect all streets in the municipality, only those included in the biannual parking ordinance. Drivers can consult the complete list on the Town Hall's electronic headquarters.
The semester change is a well-established practice in Capdepera, applied for years. The Town Hall reminds that the system helps keep the streets clean and prevents vehicle accumulation on one side.
Residents planning to leave their car parked for several days should pay special attention to the change date. The council recommends marking August 1 on the calendar as a reminder.
For any inquiries, citizens can contact the Local Police or the Citizen Attention Office of the Capdepera Town Hall. Information is also available through the municipality's official channels.
