Happy Halloween! Have Fun and Be Safe

We can't give you a trick or a treat in this newsletter, but we can give you a spooky safety tip or two! Even on this chilling night of frights, the roads should never be scary.


Drive cautiously:


πŸ‘οΈ – Watch closely for pedestrians and bicyclists.

πŸ§™ – Slow down and stay alert, especially in neighborhoods and pedestrian crossings.

🍬 – Sugar rushes only! Never drive if you have used intoxicating substances.


If you're trick-or-treating:


πŸŽƒ – Walk on sidewalks and cross at traffic signals where possible.

πŸ•―οΈβ€“ Don't enter the road from between parked cars.

πŸ§› – Carry a flashlight and wear reflective clothing.


Travel Safely (and Sleep In!) For 'Fall Back' on Sunday


Daylight saving time ends this Sunday – while we'll gain an hour of sleep 😴, it will also get darker earlier in the evening πŸŒ™.


Take these precautions when you travel:


βœ“ Turn on those headlights and bicycle lights - even if it feels early!

βœ“ Watch for walkers and bikers - they can be hard to see in the dark.

βœ“ Wear something bright or reflective if you're out walking or biking.

βœ“ Leave extra space between cars.

βœ“ Feeling sleepy? Skip the drive and rest up instead.


Let’s look out for each other and keep our streets safe and friendly this fall!
