RCMP have some tips to ensure a safe and fun Halloween

Alberta RCMP is asking motorists to be cautious while driving on Halloween, October 31.

Inspector Chris Romanchcych said in a news release, “Every year, as expected, there is increased foot traffic out on our streets and sidewalks with people participating in different Halloween activities,”

Mounties provided some tips to ensure everyone has a fun and safe evening:

• Do not drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Stay alert and watch for pedestrians.
• Carry a flashlight, wear a bright costume, or add reflective material to your costume so that motorists can easily see you.
• Ensure masks or hoods do not obstruct your vision and that you are able to see clearly.
• Be sure to use crosswalks and follow all traffic signals.
• Children should travel with parents, guardians, or in a trusted group.
• If you are pulling over in a neighborhood or cul-de-sac, ensure you are parked in a legal spot and are not blocking any driveways, crosswalks, or intersections.
