Halloween Tips

By following some simple advice, parents, children, drivers, and homeowners can all have a safe, enjoyable Halloween.

If children are out at night, drivers need to be particularly careful at dusk and when driving either over a hill or around a curve, where visibility is limited. Use high beams to see and be seen.

Trick-or-treaters should always be accompanied by an adult or travel in a group. Children should be told not to eat any unwrapped candy or treats until they return home where their parents can see them. 

Trick-or-treaters should always cross the street at corners and look both ways before crossing. 

Homeowners should clear their yards of anything that can be tripped over and be sure to have a front door or walkway light on, and refrain from decorations that use an open flame that could ignite a child’s costume.
