As Halloween approaches, the Idaho State Police is reminding everyone to prioritize safety.
Whether driving, trick-or-treating, or celebrating with friends, it’s essential to stay vigilant and cautious to ensure everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.
Drivers slow down in residential areas and expect children will to be out in greater numbers during peak trick-or-treating hours (6-9 p.m.).
Drive slower and stay alert, children may cross streets unexpectedly or dart between parked cars.
Be prepared for unexpected stops or crossings.
Trick-or-Treaters be visible by wearing bright costumes or add reflective tape to increase visibility.
Carry glow sticks or flashlights to help drivers see you.
Travel in groups or with an adult because trick-or-treating with friends or family increases safety and makes you more visible to drivers.
