Haunted Houses & Spooky Walks: For those seeking thrills, local haunted houses and spooky walks around the area offer heart-pounding scares perfect for Halloween lovers.

Halloween Safety Tips for Drivers

While Halloween is a fun time for kids and families, it’s also important to remember that streets will be busier with pedestrians, especially in the evening. Here are some tips to keep you and others safe:

Slow Down in Residential Areas: Children may unexpectedly dart out between parked cars or cross the street without warning. Keep your speed low and be extra cautious in neighborhoods.

Stay Alert for Pedestrians: Trick-or-treaters might not be paying attention to traffic as they go door-to-door. Stay vigilant and yield to pedestrians, especially in crosswalks and intersections.

Avoid Distracted Driving: Stay off your phone, especially when driving in areas where kids are trick-or-treating. Keep your eyes on the road and be aware of your surroundings.

Drive with Extra Caution During Peak Trick-or-Treating Hours: Be especially careful between 5:30 PM and 9:30 PM, when foot traffic is likely to be at its highest.

Check Your Vehicle Lights: Ensure that your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are working properly to make yourself visible to pedestrians.
