PennDOT gives tips to stay safe for Halloween

(Beaver County, PA) As those in Beaver County get ready for Halloween, PennDOT is giving tips for kids and adults to stay safe on October 31st. PennDOT advises drivers to be extra cautious in residential neighborhoods during trick-or-treating and if you are going to a Halloween party, plan ahead to get home on time. PennDOT also provides that parents should remind their children to be careful and look both ways before they cross the street, to always walk on sidewalks, cross at street corners, pay attention instead of looking at electronic devices, and to not dart across the road or cross between parked cars. For costumes, PennDOT considers adding reflective tape to costumes, carrying a flashlight, wearing glow sticks, and using face paint instead of masks, which obstructs vision. Pedestrians also need to make sure they are visible to drivers.
