Pedestrians and Drivers - Stay Safe on Halloween!
On Halloween night please remember to slow down and be on alert by
trick-or-treaters of all sizes, crossing the street mid-block or darting out
from between parked cars. Drivers should
be extremely careful entering and exiting driveways. Here are some Halloween tips:
Reflective tape: apply to the front and back of your child’s
costume
Glow sticks: Attach
glow sticks to costumers or wear a glow necklace and/or bracelets
Flashlights: Add fresh
batteries and give each kid a flashlight.
Parents should also carry flashlights or lanterns
Costumes: Make sure
masks fit properly and costumes aren’t so long that they create a tripping
hazard
Stay in a Group: Keeping the trick-or-treaters in a group may be
difficult as they are going to be very excited and want to run from house to
house.
Use the Sidewalk: to get from house to house. Don’t let them cut across yards, driveways or
alleys.
Crosswalks: Use crosswalks only. No crossing the street at a driveway or from
between parked cars. Use caution while
crossing, even in the crosswalk. Don’t
step out into the crosswalk assuming the car coming is going to stop for
you. Make sure the car is going to stop
before committing to cross.
