Stay Safe and Keep Your Kids Safe on Halloween

The biggest risk to kids on Halloween comes from collisions with automobiles. With all the excitement of friends about in the neighborhood after dark and wearing special costumes, it can be difficult for cars to see children and challenging for kids to see and recognize the danger from cars. Adults need to take special care to supervise street crossings even for kids who are “too old” to normally need such supervision. Finding ways to make costumes reflective, incorporating light features into costumes, and taking action as a neighborhood to slow local traffic on this one evening are valuable mitigations that can help prevent serious injuries.
