Keep safe this Halloween with Western's top tips

A group of children dressed in Halloween costumes ready to go trick-or-treating

Oct. 30. Drivers, parents and kids can have an enjoyable and safe Halloween by following these top Western Financial Group safety tips.

What kids can do:

Teach kids how to follow these safety tips when trick-or-treating on Halloween.

o Kids should use traffic signals and crosswalks to cross the street.

o They should look left, right, then left again when crossing and not get distracted by electronic devices.

o Kids should make eye contact with drivers before crossing.

o Help your kids plan direct routes on sidewalks with few street crossings and know what their route is.

o Teach them to walk facing traffic far to the left if there is no sidewalk.

o Teach children to watch for cars that are backing up or turning and not to cross the street between parked cars.

o If your kids are too young to go alone, go trick or treating with them.

o Trick or treaters should travel in groups.

o They should go to houses with the porch light on.

o Make sure your kids know not to enter homes or cars of strangers.

o Kids should let their parents check their treats before eating them.

o Kids should stay within boundaries approved by parents and come home on time.

How parents can help their child create a safe Halloween costume

With a little creative thinking, parents can help their kids make fun but safe Halloween costumes.

o Use light colors, reflective tape, and glow sticks and have your child carry a flashlight. This will help kids see and be seen.

o Avoid masks that limit vision and use makeup instead.

o Choose the right size of costume so your kids do not trip.

o Use non-flammable materials and remind kids to stay away from candles and fire.

Drivers should be extra cautious on Halloween

o Be on the lookout for trick or treaters in residential areas especially from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

o Be careful when entering and exiting driveways and alleys and look for kids on curbs, medians, and at intersections.

o Make sure to drive slowly and turn your headlights on early.

o Do not get distracted while driving.

Following these simple, common sense guidelines will make for a fun and safe Halloween for everyone!
