The answer

The majority of jurists dislike praying in the middle of the road because it inconveniences people and distracts the worshipper with passersby, which diminishes their devotion. However, there is no harm in praying there out of necessity, such as when the mosque is crowded and there is no other place to pray. An exception to this is the Friday and Eid prayers if the mosque is full.
