The streets will busy with treat-or-treaters this evening and the La Ronge RCMP is reminding residents to stay safe.
There are a number of steps residents can take to ensure everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. For drivers, remember pedestrians have the right of way even when they’re approaching a stop or yield sign, reduce your speed in residential neighbourhoods, schools and playgrounds, keep an eye out while turning, ensure your headlights and taillights are on, and don’t drink and drive.
“It’s getting [dark] at night, so wearing brighter colours, walking in groups and making sure vehicles and other pedestrians see the kids when they are walking around,” Const. Amee Pirlot said. “Try to use sidewalks and paths and, if traffic is coming, move off to the side of the road if possible.”
For trick-or-treaters, it’s recommended to do so on one side of the street at a time, look both ways before crossing the street, use crosswalks, don’t assume drivers will see you and stop, and avoid distractions while walking. Trick-or-treaters should also wear glow sticks or reflective markings or carry a flashlight.
