Here are some tips for making Halloween a safe activity for all of our little ghosts and goblins. Happy Halloween!

· Trick-or-Treat on well lit streets where possible or carry flashlights or glow sticks

· Always Trick or treats in groups with adult supervision

· Cross the street at corners, using crosswalks and traffic signals.

· Don’t run across the street.

· Make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them.

· Always walk on sidewalks

· Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision.

· When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.

· Drive slowly and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.

· When driving, enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully.

· Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially alert for kids during those hours.
