Houston is responding to the request with a new pilot program called “ Sunday Streets.” Under that program, designated streets will be closed to vehicular traffic from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m ...

Sitting, standing, walking in the street, or on narrow traffic medians, may soon be illegal in the City of Houston.

People have to stay off medians that are less than 6 feet wide. The rule does not apply to people crossing streets.
