For the remainder of the summer season vehicles will no longer be allowed to park on the Montée de la Chaudanne, one of the two main roads running through Méribel centre. Until the end of August, wooden barriers will prevent cars from parking on either side of the street, effectively enlarging the pavement and allowing pedestrians more space to wander, enjoy outdoor cafes and the twice weekly market. Deliveries will still be permitted and two short stay parking spaces are still available outside the Pharmacy. After public consultation at the end of the summer, a decision will be taken by the town hall whether to make the change permanent. The town hall states that its long term objectives towards road use are:
to reduce the number of vehicles in Méribel,
reduce the noise and pollution caused by car use within the resort,
encourage tourists and locals to use the car parks close to town centre,
develop car-sharing,
and increase the use of the free communal transport.
