Safety

Common advice from city safety officials, such as San Jose’s Halloween safety tips:

  • Children under 12 should go with an adult; older children should carry a phone and agree on a time to be home.
  • Wear light-colored costumes or reflective tape, and carry a flashlight or glow stick.
  • Use sidewalks; where there are none, walk facing traffic. Cross at corners and crosswalks.
  • Drivers: slow down in neighborhoods and watch for children between parked cars.
