Vehicle-free zone move in Melaka hits a few road bumps

MELAKA: The decision to turn Bandar Hilir, one of Melaka’s busiest streets, into a vehicle-free zone on weekends has received mixed reactions.

Some said the idea to close the road from 6pm to midnight during weekends was brilliant, while others criticised it as an unwise move and badly affected the livelihoods of street traders and shopping complexes in Bandar Hilir.
