Keep Halloween safe for everyone

As little ghosts and goblins get ready to hit the streets, please help keep our community safe by remembering to:

•Drive well below the speed limit in residential areas
•Watch carefully for children in costumes, especially when turning or backing up
•Avoid distractions like cell phones
•Turn on your headlights early to see and be seen
•Never pass a stopped vehicle –it may be dropping off trick-or-treaters
•Always drive sober

Let’s make sure everyone enjoys a safe and fun Halloween night.
