LOS ANGELES - With ghouls and goblins roaming neighborhood streets, Halloween is one of the busiest nights for the community. To keep trick-or-treaters safe, the LA Dept. of Transportation has important tips on what to do:
Drivers should look for children walking on the street, running, and darting in between parked vehicles,
Especially when in or near neighborhoods, avoid using cell phones while driving,
Keep houses and driveways lit so children know it's all right to approach your homes,
When inspecting candy, if in doubt, throw it out,
Be sure to follow all traffic signals and laws and walk only on sidewalks, not the street, and
Adults should always accompany children, trick-or-treat in groups or have children be accompanied by a trust adult.
