Halloween may be fun for children, but it’s also one of the most dangerous nights of the year for pedestrians. Studies show that the number of traffic accidents involving children is significantly higher on Halloween than on an average evening. As darkness falls, small ghosts, skeletons and other monsters fill the streets — often dressed in dark costumes and focused more on collecting candy than on traffic.
At the same time, drivers are not always prepared for so many children appearing suddenly on residential roads. That combination makes Halloween a high-risk night for accidents that could easily be prevented with a simple reminder: Watch out for the little monsters.
