Halloween Safety Tips
For pedestrians:
Parents should accompany children.
Children should walk and not run from house to house.
Children should stay on sidewalks instead of walking between cars or on lawns where there could be ornaments or wires that could be a tripping hazard.
Consider a costume that is a lighter color and more visible to motorists Add reflective material front and back; it can even be part of the design. If children are walking in the dark, give them a flashlight, so they can be seen by drivers. Glow sticks can further aid visibility.
For drivers:
Drive slowly in and around neighborhoods and residential streets.
Watch for children who may dart out into the street. Expect the unexpected.
If you are driving children around for trick or treating, make sure they are buckled up in a child safety seat or vehicle seatbelt, each and every time they enter the car.
Pull over to safe locations to let children exit curb side, away from traffic. Use your hazards to alert other drivers of not only your car, but to exercise caution. Especially on Halloween, they will be extra wary for children as a result.
Do not use a cell phone or other mobile device while driving. It is far too dangerous to drive on Halloween to add further, unnecessary risks. Pull over safely to check voice messages, or texts, as needed.
