Trick or treat awareness, please walk safely, please drive safely today (everyday, but especially today!!)

via MassDOT: 

"Trick-or-treating is all about fun, but safety should always come first!

Drivers, be extra cautious, #slowdown, watch for ghouls and goblins, and don't drink & drive!

Trick-or-treaters, always use a crosswalk to cross & stay on the sidewalks if available!"
