Newport Beach Police Department Reminds Drivers to Be Alert for Trick-or-Treaters on Halloween Night
By NB Indy Staff
As Halloween creeps closer , the Newport Beach Police Department encourages everyone on the road to be extra careful as more children are out walking the neighborhood haunting for treats .
“ We want our community to have a fun night out on Halloween , but to also stay safe and make responsible choices ,” Newport Beach Police Lieutenant Eric Little said . “ If your night involves drinking , make sure you plan for a sober ride home . Even one drink can impair judgement .”
Because of the parties , trickor-treating , and other festivities , Halloween night can be especially dangerous on our nation ’ s roads .
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , adults between the ages of 21 and 34 had the highest percentage ( 68 percent ) of fatalities in drunkdriving crashes on Halloween night in 2020 . During that same night , 11 pedestrians were killed in drunkdriving crashes .
Whether you are celebrating the spirit of Halloween or Día de los Muertos , the Newport Beach Police Department offers the following tips for families to be as safe as possible and share the road safely :
DRIVERS
• Slow down and watch out for more foot traffic in residential neighborhoods .
• Take extra time looking for trickor-treaters at intersections and entering / exiting driveways .
• Never drive distracted or impaired .
• If you are heading to a local bar , restaurant or house party and plan to drink , bring the designated sober driver with you , use a ride-hailing service , or stay the night .
PARENTS AND TRICK-OR-TREATERS
• Make sure costumes fit to prevent trips and falls .
• Decorate costumes and bags / buckets with reflective tape .
• Have kids use flashlights or glow sticks to make it easier for drivers to see them .
• Walk on sidewalks when available . Avoid darting into the street or crossing between parked cars .
• Stick to familiar , well-lit routes .
• Look both ways before crossing the street . Make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them .
In an effort to keep trick-ortreaters and others in the Halloween spirit safe , the Newport Beach Police Department will have additional officers on patrol looking for drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and / or drugs .
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration .
