Halloween is just around the corner and that means ghouls and goblins will be out statewide trick-or-treating.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Halloween can be particularly dangerous for pedestrians.
Ken Grant with AAA-Mid Atlantic said people should enjoy Halloween, but do it safely.
"Halloween is consistently one of the top three days for pedestrian injuries and fatalities," Grant said.
Grant adds there are ways to stay safe while trick-or-treating. He advises motorists to drive under the speed limit and be careful exiting driveways and alleys.
Drivers should watch for children walking on streets, medians and curbs and be alert for people darting across streets suddenly.
Parents can add reflective to costumes and treat buckets or bags to increase visibility.
According to AAA-Mid Atlantic 40% of all fatal crashes on Halloween night involve a drunk driver.
Grant said partygoers should have a safe plan to get home, whether that be a designated driver, public transportation or a cab service.
