Tomorrow’s Halloween brings the heaviest trick-or-treating from roughly 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., so plan for extra foot traffic in neighborhoods.
Kids and parents: stick to well-lit streets, use sidewalks, and cross at corners—make eye contact with drivers before stepping out.
Add visibility with reflective tape or glow sticks, and carry a flashlight; costumes should fit to avoid trips, and masks shouldn’t block vision.
For younger kids, go as a group and keep phones handy; check candy before eating and avoid homemade treats from strangers.
Drivers: slow to 20 mph or less on residential blocks, keep headlights on early, and pause an extra second at stop signs; watch for kids darting between parked cars and don’t use cruise control.
If you’re hosting, clear walkways, light your porch, and secure pets.
And if you plan to celebrate with alcohol or cannabis, line up a sober ride—kids will be everywhere tomorrow night.
