Halloween is a fun day for families. They get to dress up as their favorite character 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:

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