Walk Safely
iiiii!iiii!i:ii • Cross the street at corners, using
!iiil i!!iiiii traffic signals and crosswalks.
ii!iii!i il Look left, right and left again when
crossing and keep looking as you
~iii!~i!i~ cross.
iiii!!iiii:ill " Put electronic devices down and
!!!i keep heads up and walk, don't run,
across the street.
• Teach children to make eye contact
i!ili! i with drivers before crossing in front
of them.
• Always walk on sidewalks or paths.
If there are no sidewalks, walk facing
traffic as far to
the left as possible. Children should
walk on direct routes with the fewest
street crossings.
• Watch for cars that are turning or
backing up. Teach children to never
dart out into the street or cross be-
tween parked cars.
Trick or Treat With an Adult
• Children under the age of 12
should not be alone at night without
adult supervision. If kids are mature
enough to be out without supervi-
sion, they should stick to familiar ar-
eas that are well lit and trick-or-treat
in groups.
Keep Costumes Both
Creative and Safe
• Decorate costumes and bags with
reflective tape or stickers and, if pos-
sible, choose light colors.
• Choose face paint and makeup
whenever possible instead of masks,
which can obstruct a child's vision.
• Have kids carry glow sticks or flash-
|ights to help them see and be seen
by drivers.
• When selecting a costume, make
sure it is the right size to prevent
trips and falls.
Drive Extra Safely on Halloween
• Slow down and be especially alert
in residential neighborhoods. Chil-
dren are excited on Halloween and
may move in unpredictable ways.
• Take extra time to look for kids at
intersections, on medians and on
curbs.
• Enter and exit driveways and alleys
slowly and carefully.
• Eliminate any distractions inside
your car so you can concentrate on
the road and your surroundings:
• Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pe-
destrian traffic and turn your head-
lights on earlier in the day to spot
children from greater distances.
• Popular trick-or-treating hours are
5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially
alert for kids during those hours.
