Tips to keep your ghosts and goblins safe:
- Stay visible: Bring a flashlight or glow stick, and add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags.
- Stay alert: Put down the phone and take out the earbuds while walking around neighborhoods.
- Watch for traffic: Cross streets at corners, look both ways, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
- Drive with care: If you’re out on Lafayette streets tonight, slow down and watch for excited trick-or-treaters in driveways and crosswalks.
- Pick safe costumes: Go for light-colored outfits and avoid masks…
