• Participating in one-way trick-or-treating where individually wrapped goodie bags are lined up for families to grab and go while continuing to social distance (such as at the end of a driveway or at the edge of a yard)

• Do not wear a costume mask over a protective cloth mask because it can be dangerous if the costume mask makes it hard to breathe. Instead, consider using a Halloween-themed cloth mask.

• Do not text and drive. Avoid distractions!
• Watch for eyes shine along roadsides. If you see one deer, it is likely that there are others nearby.
• Use high beams as traffic allows to spot deer further away. Be careful not to disrupt oncoming cars.
• If a deer is stopped in the roadway, slow down and flash your headlights. Deer can become mesmerized or blinded by bright steady lights.
• Slow down or stop if necessary to avoid hitting a deer but you should never swerve out of the lane to miss one. A crash with another car or anything along the roadside is likely to be more serious.
• Take your foot off the brake at time of the crash. This reduces the chance of a deer crashing through a windshield or windows when hit.
• If you get into a crash with a deer, try to move your car off the road and out of traffic.
• If your car is immobilized in the roadway, turn on your flashers and immediately call police.
• Try to wait at a safe spot off the road.
• Rely on your own senses. Never depend on hood whistles, car horns or other devices to scare deer out of your path.
• Pay attention to deer crossing signs and be careful in areas where deer are known to travel.
