Road safety reminders for drivers on Halloween
There will be an increase in monsters, KPop Demon Hunters, superheroes, witches and more on City sidewalks and streetsFriday evening, as kids across Kitchener celebrate Halloween.
City of Kitchener staff remind drivers to pay close attention to their surroundings to ensure trick-or-treating stays fun for everyone.
If you’re driving on Halloween, remember:
-
Stay alert in residential areas. Slow speeds save lives.
-
Always check for pedestrians, especially in unexpected places.
-
Use caution when turning into driveways and parking lots.
-
Pull over safely when dropping off or picking up children. Use your turn signal and hazard lights appropriately.
Pedestrians, cyclists and all little monsters should:
-
Wear reflective clothing or carry lights to stay visible.
-
Look for traffic in all directions and cross at designated crosswalks or intersections when possible. Stay off your phone, remove headphones, and make sure costumes aren’t blocking your vision when you cross streets and roadways.
-
Travel with a buddy.
