Thursday is Halloween, one of spookiest nights of the year, but also a night where the streets are heavily populated. Children are dressed up and excited, running house to house to get their candy. Which is why it is very important to drive extra safely on this particular day. This extra excitement will cause children as well as adults to move in unpredictable ways, like running across the street or even jumping out from behind things to give someone a scare. This is why you must be alert while driving and follow these safety tips.
- SLOW DOWN and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods.
- Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians, curbs and before leaving a stop sign.
- Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully.
- Eliminate any distractions inside your car, including your phone, so you can focus on the road.
- Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the day.
- Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 to 9:30 pm so be especially alert during those hours.
