Halloween Safety Tips from OPD As a trick-or-treating pedestrian: • Always be aware of your surroundings. • Do not let electronic devices distract you as you walk to and from your destination. • Pay attention to the traffic moving around you. • Try to walk in well-lit, populated areas. • Follow the rules of the road – cross in crosswalks and obey traffic signs and signals. • Make eye contact with drivers as they approach; never assume a driver sees you. • If possible, wear bright clothing and/or reflective material(s). As a trick-or-treating driver: • Look out for pedestrians! • Slow down, yield to pedestrians, and be prepared to stop when nearing all intersections. • Be cautious when backing up – pedestrians, in particular young children, can be difficult to see. General candy safety tips: • When in doubt, throw it out! Avoid candy that is not securely wrapped. • Consider avoiding small, hard candies for young children, as they can be a choking hazard. Have an enjoyable and safe Halloween! #TownCamp #opryd
