The following are tips released by Alberta RCMP
- What’s scarier than things that go bump in the night? Impaired driving. Do not drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Schedule a taxi, rideshare, designated driver, or flying broomstick to get home safely.
- Motorists have ghosts to be alert! Beware of pedestrians and increased foot traffic.
- No need to be afraid of the dark. Carry a flashlight, wear a bright costume, or add reflective material to your spook-tacular get-up so that motorists can easily see you.
- Going all out with your costume? Fang-tastic! Just ensure masks or hoods do not obstruct your vision and that you are able to see clearly.
- Even monsters and fairy-tale creatures need to abide by the rules of the road. Be sure to use crosswalks and follow traffic signals.
- It is always a ghoul idea for children to travel with parents, guardians, or in a trusted group.
- It may sound candy-corny, but remember to have fun!
