\u201cWith Halloween right around the corner, child pedestrian safety expert Moira Donahue with Safe Kids USA<\/strong>, is encouraging parents to remind their little ghosts and super heroes to be safe when out trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n

Halloween is supposed to be about scares that are fun, not frightening. But statistics show it\u2019s one of the most dangerous days of the year for kids when it comes to walking safely.<\/p>\n

To keep Halloween spooky rather than scary, Moira Donahue with Safe Kids USA<\/strong> and FedEx <\/strong>have teamed up to develop safety tips for parents and drivers:<\/p>\n

How to keep kids safe:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

* Cross streets at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks
\n * Make eye contact with drivers and watch for cars that are turning or backing up
\n * Wear face paint and makeup; a mask can restrict a child\u2019s vision
\n * Wear well-fitting, sturdy shoes that prevent trips and falls
\n * Only trick-or-treat in well lit and familiar areas
\n * Carry a flashlight or glow stick to increase visibility to drivers
\n
\nDriving safely on Halloween:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

* Be sure to drive with your full headlights on so you can spot children from greater distances
\n * Take extra time to actively look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs
\n * Remember that popular trick-or-treating hours are during the typical rush hour period, between 5:30-9:30 PM.<\/p>\n
