Halloween is fast approaching. Here are some tips to help you and your child prepare a safe and fun night of trick-or-treating:
Travel together. Avoid letting children walk alone. Always walk in large groups with a responsible adult.
Brighten up. Fasten reflective tape to kids’ costumes and treat bags so drivers can see everyone. Brightly-colored costumes are better for kids.
Look both ways. Tell your child to look both ways before crossing the street and to use crosswalks
Stay on sidewalks. Walk on sidewalks whenever possible or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe
See and be seen. Give children a flashlight or glow stick to hold while trick-or-treating to help them see and to help others see them while they walk – never run from house to house!
