PITTSBURGH —

PennDOT, Pittsburgh Public Schools and other safety partners are reminding parents, drivers and kids about ways to stay safe this Halloween.

On Wednesday, police visited Westwood Elementary School to talk with students about safety while walking around trick-or-treating. Advertisement

Safety tips include:

Only cross at corners and use crosswalks when possible.

Always use sidewalks. If none are available, walk facing traffic.

Wear a brightly colored costume or adjust a costume to be highly visible to other pedestrians and motorists.

Carry a flashlight, glow stick, or any other light-up tool to increase visibility.

Use face paint instead of a mask to allow you to see better.

Only trick-or-treat with an adult or responsible older sibling.
