2: Make Eye contact with the drivers while crossing the road with busy traffic and also teach your children to do that.

3: Always use traffic signals and crosswalks. Keep looking left and right while you cross.

4: Either use sidewalks or paths, and if there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far as possible.

5: Ask your children to stick to familiar areas during their Trick-or-Treat campaigns and if they are under the age of 12, they MUST be in an adult’s supervision AT night.

6: Make their Halloween Costumes and Bags visible by using reflective tape and stickers. Also ask them to carry flashlights or glow sticks so the drivers can see them easily.

7: For children, avoid using Halloween Masks and use Face paints and Makeup as Masks can obstruct the child’s vision.

8: While driving in residential neighborhoods on Halloween night, slow and down and be alert because the children are excited and their movement is unpredictable.

10: Check all the candies collected by your child and if anyone of them looks not original or not wrapped in an original wrapper, through it away instantly.
