From 19.8.2023, Melaka City Council has started to have a car free zone at Stadthuys and Dataran Merdeka on every Saturday from 6.00pm to 12.00 midnight.
This car free zone is to allow visitors to walk to the historical area without having to look out for cars.
Motorists are advised on traffic changed on Saturday evenings.
Cars can be parked at Jalan Bunga Raya, and Jalan Kee Ann. These roads are near to Jonker Walk just by crossing the Jambatan Pasar near to Vedromall.

Melaka begins trials of car-free zone on Sat evenings
Last Saturday, the Majlis Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah (MBMB) began the dry-run of its car-free zone evening, with some roads around Bandar Hilir being closed off to traffic from 6pm to midnight.
The vehicle-free zone will be implemented every Saturday from 6pm to 12 midnight as a trial run. The stretch involves Jalan Istana, Jalan Mahkamah, Jalan Gereja, Lorong Gereja, Jalan Laksamana as well as parts of Jalan Tun Khalil Yaakob and Jalan Merdeka.
It looks like the trial period for the car-free zone on Saturday evenings is set to continue, so those heading in to Melaka on weekends should take note of the road closures, which will be on Saturday, from 6pm to midnight.
