Trick or Treat Safety in New Haven

New Haven’s youth (and young-at-heart) will be out and about asking for tricks or treats next week on Halloween. While Halloween is a fun holiday for all, there are some very real New Haven personal injury risks out there. Follow these tips, to keep your children and yourself safe.

1. Always walk on sidewalks and pathways.
2. Children 12 and under should trick-or-treat and cross the street with an adult.
3. Walk safely. Twice as many child pedestrians are killed on Halloween than compared to any other day of the year.
4. Drivers should slow down and take extra caution when traveling on roadways on Halloween.
5. If there is a crossing signal to use, be sure to push it, wait for it, and use it.
