Children in Kissimmee, Fla., are no longer allowed to play in the streets or on sidewalks, according to a Local 6 News report.

Tuesday night, Kissimmee City commissioners agreed to a new ordinance that makes it illegal for children to play with portable recreational equipment, like basketball hoops and hockey nets in the streets or sidewalks.

Violators will face a $100 fine.

We used to play tag football in the streets all the time and kickball. Not much traffic in my hood and we knew everyone. It does not say if playing in the streets in general is banned though - just seems centered around the implements being used.
