  2. Costume Design • Buy or make costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists. • Decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape that will glow in the beam of a car's headlights. • Bags or sacks should also be light colored or decorated with reflective tape (which is usually available in hardware, bicycle, and sporting goods stores). • To easily see and be seen, children should also carry flashlights. • Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling. • Don’t use loose masks that restrict breathing or obscure vision.

  4. Choosing Safe Houses • Only visit homes where you know the residents and where the outside lights are on. • Children shouldn’t enter homes unless they’re accompanied by an adult. • If you expect trick-or-treaters, prepare your lawns, steps and porches by removing anything that could be an obstacles. • Keep candlelit jack-o'-lanterns away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flame.

  5. Pedestrian Safety • Young children should always be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible child. • All children should walk—not run—from house to house. • Walk on the sidewalk rather than in the street. • Cross streets at corners or crosswalks. • Children should be cautioned against running out from between parked cars, or across lawns and yards where ornaments, furniture, or clotheslines present dangers.

  6. Motorists • Stay alert. Neighborhoods that don’t normally have a lot of pedestrian and bicycle traffic may have an increase on Halloween night. • Remember that kids will be excited and may be trying to visit as many houses as possible. They may dart in front of you. • Be particularly cautious in areas where cars are parked along the side of the street. • Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. • Be patient and slow down. Give children lots of time to cross the street.

  7. Parents • When arriving at or leaving an organized event like a school or church party, watch for children walking or bicycling around your car. • Accompany the trick-or-treaters as they make their way around the neighborhood.

  8. Halloween Impaired-Driving Prevention Campaign • During the Halloween time period (Halloween and the nearest weekend), from 1996-2005, there were 1,885 fatal wrecks (involving drivers with a BAC of 0.08 or higher), and 4,935 fatalities (involving drivers with a measurable BAC). • NHTSA’s Halloween 2010 Impaired Driving Prevention Campaign (October 25 - 31, 2010) provides a promotional planner with marketing material, media tools, and marketing ideas. • It includes messaging and templates that support impaired-driving initiatives surrounding Halloween.

  9. Halloween Impaired-Driving Prevention Campaign, cont. • Materials carry the taglines, "Don't let Halloween turn into a nightmare" (referring to the possibility of arrest or crashes due to impaired driving), and "Please Designate a Sober Driver." • The campaign planner available from NHTSA at http://www.nhtsa.gov/Impaired/ • Visit http://www.stopimpaireddriving.org/planners/Halloween2010/.
