Use costumes that are light or bright enough to make children more visible at night. Remind children to stop at all street corners before crossing. Tell them to cross streets only at intersections and crosswalks. Teach them to look left, right and left again before crossing the street and to continue looking both ways as they cross. Teach them never to dart out into a street or cross between parked cars.
Motorists Slow down in residential neighborhoods.
Obey all traffic signs and signals. Watch for children walking in the street and on medians and curbs. Enter and exit driveways and alleyways slowly and carefully. Teach children to enter and exit the car on the curb side, away from traffic. On Halloween night, cumbersome costumes and blinding masks can make walking safely through dark neighborhoods difficult.
