Alberta RCMP are offering safety tips for fun-seekers this Halloween.
Tips for trick-or-treaters
Wear bright coloured costumes and use reflective tape or glow sticks to be more visible to drivers.
- Use a flashlight and stay in well-lit areas.
- Wear make-up instead of a mask. Masks can impair your vision and hearing. If you wear a mask, remove while walking from house to house and crossing streets.
- Always walk on sidewalks.
- Stay on one side of the street and only cross the street where safe to do so. Do not crisscross back-and-forth across roads or traffic, especially not between parked cars.
- Stay on the doorstep or sidewalk. Never go inside the home or car of someone you don’t know.
- Travel in groups if you are unsupervised.
