and you can bet that your neighborhood will be packed with vehicle traffic and children walking out and about. The Chicago Tribune reported
recently some safety tips provided by Lake County police to keep your children
safe. Although checking candy is important, police insist that traffic is the
biggest safety concern on Halloween night.
The first tip is for drivers to be
cautious and wary of children crossing the streets. Do not speed and make complete stops and stop signs and pedestrian crossings. Pedestrians always should walk in crosswalks and be
aware of traffic. In addition, parents should make sure costumes correctly fit their
children so they do not fall and that masks are not inhibiting kids’
vision.
Finally, it is recommended
that children where some sort of reflective tape or fabric on their costumes so
that they are visible to drivers.
