As another spooktacular Halloween approaches, Ontario is reminding drivers and pedestrians to be aware and stay safe while trick-or-treating.
Excited ghosts, goblins and ghouls are roaming the streets after dark on Halloween and may forget safety rules. Drivers are reminded to follow these safety precautions:
-
Be alert and slow down when you see trick-or-treaters
-
Avoid any distractions and put down the phone
-
Always keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel
-
Yield to crossing pedestrians, especially when turning.
Parents are encouraged to remind their trick-or-treaters to:
-
Be seen -- wear costumes with bright fabrics or reflective tape and carry a flashlight with fresh batteries
-
Be alert and cautious of their surroundings, especially on roadways
-
Always walk -- do not run from house to house
-
Walk on the sidewalks whenever possible, don't jaywalk and always cross at pedestrian crossovers or marked intersections
-
If a sidewalk is unavailable, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic.
Review safety precautions before heading out to trick-or-treat, including pedestrian and traffic safety rules.
