Light up the night.
Place fun lanterns in the shadows along the walkway, steps, and doorway. Battery operated lighting is a safe option. A well lit haunted house keeps everyone safe and brightens up the night.

Stay visible.
Glow sticks, flashlights, reflective tape, and other similar products will help you to be more noticeable on a dark Halloween night. These glow sticks also make great favors for your Halloween party.

Lighten up.
Light up your pumpkin with glow sticks. Attach ribbon to glow sticks and tie on each side of the handle of your child's pumpkin.

Happy feet.
Shoes that fit well are a must for a long night of walking.  Also, make sure costumes fit appropriately to avoid tripping and failing.  

Heads up.
Cell phones are important in case of an emergency, but can also become a distraction. Put electronic devices down and keep your head up. Instruct your child never to dart out in the street. Always watch for moving cars and never walk between parked cars.

Stay on the sidewalk.
When trick-or-treating, stay on the sidewalk.  If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic so drivers can see you.  On average twice as many child pedestrians are killed while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year.
