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.

We just got back from walking the streets in Forest Hills - a VERY family friendly neighborhood in queens where for years the locals organize formal trick or treating (signs on doors, social media presence, etc…)

The amount asshole drivers we saw was so upsetting, and SO dangerous. No need for anyone to be driving faster than 20 mph on residential streets period but on Halloween? It’s just cruel..
