Children are twice as likely to be struck and killed by a car on Halloween than any other day of the year, according to AAA expertis Tuesday and the kids are ready, but Jana Tidwell from AAA Mid-Atlantic explains there are traffic safety concerns that parents, drivers, and trick-or-treaters need to be aware of."Children are twice as likely to be struck and killed by a car on Halloween than any other day of the year.
Adding reflective tape, stickers and those kinds of things to Halloween costumes -- especially the backs of their costumes -- also helps."We want to make sure we're not darting out in the middle of the street between parked cars. Stay with a group walk to the end of the street. Cross at the crosswalk. Cross at stop signs," said Tidwell.Drivers also need to be aware. Slow down on the roads, keep your headlights on even in daylight and eliminate distractions, like cellphones.
