  • Trick or Treat in neighborhoods and at houses you are familiar with.
  • Make sure your mask does not obscure your vision.
  • Carry a flashlight if you’re going to be out after dark.
  • Do not walk in the streets. Stay on the sidewalks.
  • Be very careful crossing the streets and watch for on-coming traffic.
  • Let your parents check your treats to make sure they are safe before eating them.
  • Parents, do not let small children Trick or Treat on their own.
  • Drivers: watch for Trick or Treater crossing the streets.
  • Do not block traffic by parking the in middle of the street.
  • Drive slower than the speed limit so you will have time to see and react.
