The California Office of Traffic Safety and the Burlingame Police Department want everyone to have a fun Halloween. Please review the following safety tips to ensure a safe holiday for all.
Tips for parents and trick-or-treaters
- Children should be accompanied by a responsible adult.
- Use sidewalks.
- Look both ways before crossing and use crosswalks.
- Use reflective tape on costumes or carry and use a flashlight.
- Reduce the risk of trips and falls, by avoiding masks or costumes that limit your vision and movement.
- Examine all treats for choking hazards or tampering and only eat factory wrapped treats.
Tips for motorists
- Be extra vigilant about watching out for children.
- Obey traffic signs and signals.
- Reduce your speed, especially in residential areas where children are likely to be present.
- Trick-or-treaters may not pay attention to traffic; be prepared to stop if someone darts out midblock or from between parked cars.
- Never text and drive and avoid being distracted by electronic devices.
Consuming alcoholic beverages and possession of open alcoholic beverages containers on streets and sidewalks is prohibited by law.
The Burlingame Police Department is employing DUI Saturation Patrols this weekend looking for impaired drivers.
Funding for DUI Saturation Patrols is from a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Call 911 to report drunk drivers!

Sawyer Camp Trail Reopens for Weekday Use
Beginning November 1
The mid-section of the Sawyer Camp Trail that has been temporarily closed on weekdays for habitat restoration will be open again every day, starting Tuesday, November 1.
Crews will continue to work in the area, and trail use might be temporarily affected for part of a day in November. Please watch for signage at the trail heads, or don't hesitate to contact us with questions.
Crews plan to return again for approximately two weeks to completely resurface the southern half of the trail by spring 2017, depending on weather and equipment availability. During this time, the southern half of the trail will be temporarily closed.
Over the next couple of years, staff will continue to watch for re-sprouting of the invasive, non-native acacias. Acorn plantings will follow as soon as the area is ready for them. The work in the Sawyer Camp Trail vicinity is part of a long-term project throughout the watershed to bring back and maintain about 180 acres of native oak woodland and grassland habitats-and the diversity of plant and wildlife species that depend on them.
For project updates, visit sfwater.org/peninsula. For questions call (866) 973-1476 or email [email protected] or [email protected]. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission thanks you for your patience and cooperation.
