Halloween Safety | Pedestrian Safety
Twice as many child pedestrians are killed while walking on Halloween than on any other day of the year. Follow these tips to stay safe while you go out!
1. Children under 12 years old should NOT trick-or-treat or cross streets alone.
2. Pedestrians should ALWAYS walk on sidewalks. If there are none, walk as far to the side of the road as possible, facing on-coming traffic.
3. USE CAUTION when crossing roads. Use crosswalks and follow traffic signals if available. Look both ways before crossing.
4. Wear LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING, or wear some sort of REFLECTIVE TAPE OR MATERIAL if you are wearing a darker costume. Also BRING A FLASHLIGHT with you.
