As Halloween approaches, we are sharing the following tips to help keep residents and their families stay safe! π
π§Walk Safely: Look both ways before crossing. Use traffic signals or crosswalks. Please put electronic devices away while walking.
π»Stay on Sidewalks and don't walk in the street if possible.
π§Stay in Groups: A responsible adult should accompany young children while trick or treating. Older children who are ready to go without adult supervision should stay together and stick to familiar areas.
π¦Be Visible: Wear bright, reflective costumes or add strips of reflective tape to be more visible. Carry glow sticks or flashlights to help see and be seen by drivers.
πDrive Carefully: Motorists should drive cautiously, slowly and watch for children walking on roadways, medians, and curbs.
π§ββοΈChoose Safe Costumes: Be sure to choose a costume that will not create tripping hazards. All costumes, wigs, and accessories should be fire-resistant. Choose Halloween make-up over masks that may obstruct vision.
The Town of Wayland does not designate specific hours for trick-or-treating.π¬
