Halloween Safety in Oklahoma Neighborhoods
Motorists and parents should stay alert during the peak Halloween hours tonight, when excited children will fill neighborhood streets. Oklahoma Police Sergeant Dillon Quirk reminds drivers to slow down in busy neighborhoods and remain vigilant for young trick-or-treaters darting into the road.
Safety Tips from Oklahoma Police
The sergeant recommends that parents ensure their children wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight to stay visible. He also advises families to inspect all Halloween treats before eating them to avoid potential safety hazards.
As Oklahoma families prepare for a festive night of candy and costumes, police stress that safety must come first. Even small steps—like crossing at well-lit intersections or avoiding masks that obscure vision—make a major difference in preventing accidents.
A Night of Fun, But Stay Alert
Authorities remind drivers to avoid distractions such as mobile phones and to drive below posted speed limits in residential areas. Parents are encouraged to stay close to their children and use sidewalks whenever possible.
Police departments across the state plan extra patrols tonight to help protect young trick-or-treaters.
