- Cross the street at intersections, not between parked cars.
- Stay in familiar neighborhoods.
- Carry a flashlight and wear bright clothing.

- Safer to be in groups when walking and trick or treating.
- Approach only houses that have lights on.
- Wear clothing with reflective markings or tape.
- Wear costumes that don’t restrict your sight.
- Wait to eat candy after you get home.
- Parents inspect all candy after returning home. Any candy opened should not be eaten.
