CAA is giving parents, kids, and drivers alike some safety tips ahead of Halloween night.

Senior Communications Specialist Lona Gervais says when planning your or your child’s costume, choose bright or reflective pieces so you can be seen in the dark.

Dress for the weather, including layers and gloves, and use face paint instead of masks so you can see where you’re going.

“When kids are trick or treating, they should travel in groups to make it easier for motorists to see them. Cross the streets only at intersections and cross walks. Always look both ways before you cross the street and stay alert and aware of your surroundings.”

Drivers are asked to avoid peak trick or treating hours if possible, turn on head and taillights, and pull over to drop kids off in a safe zone.

“Don’t drive distracted. There’s going to be a lot going on out there. Be extra cautious when you’re backing out of driveways and parking spots. Drive slowly through school zones and watch for kids out there. They’re going to be excited and not watching for cars, so you may have to pay extra attention.”
