Halloween Safety Tips for Your Children

Originally published on our previous website in 2016. Some details, such as companies, coverage options and state requirements, may have changed since then. Call or text 765-474-2300 for current information.

1. Cross at street corners and use crosswalks.
2. Look both ways before crossing the street.
3. Keep your eyes forward and be aware of your surroundings.
4. Walk on sidewalks. If no sidewalk is available, walk toward traffic so you can see oncoming traffic.
5. Never cross the street between vehicles.

Update (October 2026): These tips still apply. Drivers, slow down in neighborhoods on Halloween night, and homeowners, keep walkways clear and well lit for trick-or-treaters. Questions about your coverage? See our homeowners insurance page.
