Safe Trick or Treats

Halloween is one of the most dangerous nights of the year for driving.  Studies show that kids have a more difficult time judging drivers' reactions and tend to cross streets the quickest way, which is not necessarily the safest. Kids' smaller sizes also make it difficult for drivers to see them, and it takes them longer to cross the street.

Avoid a Halloween mishap:

  • Be aware that children may be walking in the street.

  • Drive slowly and in the center of the lane, leaving plenty of room between the car and the sidewalk.

  • Be careful when passing parked cars—kids may cross behind them

  • Take care when exiting driveways or pulling out onto streets.

  • Watch for kids in dark-colored clothing
