Halloween is a fun day for many parents and kids. They get to dress up as their favorite character, or person, and get free candy. However, along with Trick or Treating comes safety; this is the utmost important thing for all kids.

Here are safety tips for this day:

1. Walk Safely: Make sure to cross the street at corners. Also, make sure to use traffic signals and crosswalks. Double-check left, right, and left again when crossing.
2. Put electronic devices down: Pay attention to your surroundings. Keep your heads up and walk.  Do not run across the street.
3. Walk on sidewalks or paths: If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic.
4. Watch for cars: Look out for cars that are turning or backing up. Do not dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
5. Wear bright colors: Make sure to have some reflective tape or stickers and choose light colors so people can see you at night.
6. Drive safe: Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians, and in any hidden areas. 
7. Make sure to turn your headlights on so you can spot children from greater distances.
8. Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Be especially alert for kids during those hours. 
9. Most of all have fun and be safe! Happy Halloween.
