Halloween In Tuscany

Each year, Halloween is celebrated with trick-or-treating, parties, candy, and sometimes, drinking. 

 

To stay safe, follow these 7 ghoulishly good tips for drivers, pedestrians, and party-goers.

 

Drivers should be aware that around Halloween, more pedestrians will likely be on the roads and in unexpected places.

Safety Tips for Drivers

#1: Be alert for trick-or-treaters and other pedestrians.
#2: Slow down and scan the road. Remember: Slower speeds save lives.
#3: Watch for young trick-or-treaters in unexpected places. Children may be unaware of traffic and dart into the street unexpectedly. 
#4: If you see a drunk driver, contact law enforcement directly, not Tuscany security.
 
 Safety Tips for Pedestrians

#5: Before festivities begin, create a “buddy system” to get each other home safely and prevent walking alone.
#6: Follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals.
#7: If possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right.
 

Many new residents ask about trick-and-treating and how to plan in advance for our community. We encourage trick-or-treating on Halloween between dusk and 8:30pm. Please do not approach unlit doorways or porches. Some streets are typically busier than others and the volume of trick-and-treat visitors may range from just a handful to dozens of children.
