SHA lends out vests to trick-or-treators
Posted: 10/23/2012
BALTIMORE (WMAR) - The Maryland State Highway Administration is loaning out reflective vests to trick-or-treaters again this year.
For the 18th straight year, SHA is loaning out their vests so that it is easier to see parents and children on Halloween night.
As commuters are driving home from work, goblins, faires and trolls will lurk out on the streets seeking tricks-or-treats door to door. They will prance about neighborhoods filling their bags and move anxiously to the next house.
Drivers everywhere should be alert on Halloween night especially since the excited goblins and fairies may be difficult to see. If the right precautions aren't taken, this fun holiday can quickly become a tragedy.
SHA's Vests for Visibility lends reflective safety vests to parents to place over their children's costumes, free of cost. The only condition is that they be returned.
Vests are available at all 29 SHA Maintenance facilities on Monday, October 20 through Wednesday, October 31 from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Vests will be issued on a first come, first served basis and need to be returned by Friday, November 9.
“It is chilling to think that 100 pedestrians are killed every year in traffic crashes in Maryland. Even if you don’t take the opportunity to borrow one of the vests being offered, please have a conversation with your family about the importance of the ‘see and be seen message’ – lives depend on it,” said SHA Administrator Melinda B Peters
