With trick-or-treaters expected across the region from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Halloween, families and drivers are urged to take extra safety precautions. Pedestrians should stay visible with flashlights or reflective gear, use sidewalks, and cross at corners, while drivers are advised to slow to 20 mph or less in neighborhoods and stay alert for children. Hosts should keep walkways clear and well-lit, and anyone celebrating with alcohol or cannabis is reminded to arrange a sober ride.
