People definitely still do play in the streets. Maybe not in America though.

    KIds and Adults play in the streets. "game off, game on", are still in use. People will have a hoop set up at the curb. Maybe that's just 'small town', but I'm talking neighborhood small streets, not major thoroughfares.

    I grew up in America in the 90s. We always played in the streets. When a car came you yelled "car!" and everyone skedaddled to the side of the road until it passed. I still see kids playing in the streets occasionally, depending on the neighborhood.
