Walking Tips

  • Cross the street at the corners or in the crosswalks where possible
  • Make sure to look both ways before crossing the street and while crossing the street
  • Don’t text or look down at your cell phone while crossing the street
  • Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the road in front of them
  • Always use sidewalks

Have a plan

  • Kids under the age of 12 should always trick or treat with an adult
  • Children who are old enough to go without an adult should go over their plan with an adult first
  • Children going trick or treating without an adult should only go to well lit areas that they are familiar with
  • If your children are going trick or treating without you, make sure you know where they’re going and who they’re with

Costume Safety

  • Costumes and bags should have reflective tape or stickers on them
  • Face paint is safer than face masks, which can obscure vision
  • Glow sticks or flash lights can help your children be seen by drivers
  • Make sure costumes are the right size

Drive Safely

  • Drive extra slowly in neighborhoods and residential areas
  • Make sure to triple check for children before driving through an intersection
  • Back out of parking spaces and driveways cautiously
  • The most popular trick or treating hours are between 5:30-9:30 so drive extra cautiously during those hours
  • Make sure you are not a distracted driver!
  • Don’t drink and drive

We hope you all have a great Halloween! And remember- plumbing emergencies can happen anytime, even on holidays! If you need an emergency plumber this Halloween weekend make sure to call the experts you can trust at Masterflo Plumbing! (678) 822-7095
