Pedestrians:
- Cross streets at crosswalks or corners. Look both ways.

Trick-or-Treating:
- Trick-or-treaters need to be easily visible and able to see clearly. Avoid costumes with long, trailing fabric.
- Carry a light or glow stick. Add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags. Watch for traffic and cross streets at the corners or crosswalks.
- In neighborhoods, look for homes with porch lights on. Accept treats at the door, and never enter a stranger's home.
- Adults: inspect all treats before they are eaten. Remove loose candy, discard opened packages.
