Eyes on the Street when we Trick-or-Treat!

Everyone loves a good Halloween scare, but not when it comes to safety. Friday, trick-or-treaters will be out haunting the neighborhoods, and the Florida Highway Patrol is reminding motorists and pedestrians to use extreme caution and to safely share the road. Parents and drivers should take extra care in safeguarding children. Low visibility and heavy pedestrian traffic can make Halloween roadways a bit “tricky;” These safety tips can help keep this holiday a “treat.”

Motorists:

– Pay attention and eliminate distractions; turn off the radio and put down the phone.

– Be patient and slow down. Costumes may impair a child’s ability to see and hear approaching cars, preventing them from getting out of the roadway quickly.

– Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks.

– Enter and exit driveways slowly and always check behind your vehicle before backing.
