With a total of eight traffic deaths and 757 crashes during the past five Halloweens in Nevada, the Nevada Department of Transportation and Nevada Department of Public Safety are reminding drivers and pedestrians to be safe on the road this Halloween and every day.
For enhanced safety, NDOT and NHP reminds drivers and pedestrians to always focus on and share the road. Pedestrians should cross the street legally, making eye contact with drivers and waiting for drivers to stop before crossing. Pedestrians should also make themselves visible, whether wearing a reflective costume on Halloween Day or reflective gear on other days.
Drivers should always watch for pedestrians and yield when necessary. This is particularly true on Halloween night, when young trick-or-treaters are out in force. Drivers are also reminded to never drive impaired. Please make sure children do not ride with anyone impaired by drugs or alcohol. Those planning to drink should choose a designated sober driver in advance.
Overall, there have been 260 traffic deaths in Nevada this year, 26 more fatalities than the same time last year.
