With Halloween settling itself on a Friday night, tonight is expected to be one of the biggest party nights of the year. Safe Communities of Wright County is urging Halloween partiers to have a plan for a safe and sober ride to keep Wright County roads safe. Make plans to designate a sober driver before going out, call a Sober Cab, know your limit, or stay the night at the location of the celebration.
For those who are on the road this Halloween, you should know that the Wright County Sheriff’s Office and local police departments will be on increased DWI enforcement throughout Wright County. This additional enforcement is available because of federal funding to combat impaired driving crashes.
In addition, pedestrian safety is extremely important on Halloween. Motorists should reduce speeds and remain alert at all times. Trick-or-Treaters and parents should review basic pedestrian rules — only cross at intersections or marked crosswalks, use flashlights and reflective wear, and never dart in front of traffic.
Stay SAFE and have a Happy Halloween!
