The number of children killed by cars spikes higher on Halloween than on any other day of the year.
If you want to keep you kids safe, NYC has some car-free streets set up for trick-or-treating this year.
If you want to keep your kids even safer, reach out to your local community board and police precinct and see if you can create more car-free streets for trick-or-treating next year.
And if you're out driving tonight, please drive with the level of caution you'd use if you were in an elementary school parking lot after dark, because you'll be pretty close to being in that situation.

Streetblog says this is not true in NYC.

Is that due to low speeds in NYC on residential streets?

on a night when children are on the streets en masse, cars are in fact a pretty big danger!

That's fine but the point is its factually not a true statement

make sure your children are supervised and not walking in the street
