Road seems to be closed off during weekend nights, even when not Merdeka season, but I don't know the exact schedule. Anyone knows the exact schedule and, preferably also, sauce from DBKL?

Thx. My search first got me to that too.

Any idea about the ones I sometimes see during weekend nights, where people can ride around in bling bling electric scooters?

Another clue i got is from Hop On Hop Off bus schedule.

Their daytime routes go along Jalan Raja (Stop 11 to Stop 12) but ends at 6pm. Starting 8pm there is a single night tour that don't follow the day route, but it does stop at "River of Life/Merdeka Square" for photos. Meaning the bus turn into Leboh Pasar Besar if Jalan Raja is closed for vehicular traffic (besides I don't think Dataran Merdeka area is particularly photogenic at night).

My guess is they barricade starting from 8pm or before Maghrib at 7pm, then reopen early morning like 6am if it's not Car Free Sunday. I've seen articles about DBKL plans to close certain roads as test runs to eventually only allow pedestrian traffic at all times, but no details.
