AAA Pedestrian Safety when trick-or-treating, safety tips for families who may venture out on Halloween

Village of Wappingers Falls Police Department offers tips from AAA to families who may venture out on Halloween:
- Masked costumes are in this year, just be sure that vision is not obstructed in any way.
-Washable or disposable gloves can be worn, or carry/use hand sanitizer between houses
- Wear a costume you can walk in, comfortable footwear and nothing that drags on the ground
- Work one side of the street at a time, crossing only at corners and crosswalks. Stay out of the roadway. Visit less homes than usual, sticking to those you know.
- Avoid going out in large groups, stick to immediate family. Encourage terns to observe social distancing if out with friends.
- If driving trick-or-treaters on their rounds, don't forget to use appropriate car seats, and have children enter and exit the vehicle from the passenger side.

Please have fun and stay safe!
