Don’t lose focus driving home on Halloween

It's Halloween, and the Arizona Department of Transportation wants to remind drivers to not get distracted with thoughts of candy, costumes, haunted houses and more while out on the roads.

If you drive on state highways today, you might notice a traffic safety message on our overhead signs, encouraging motorists to drive with focus. By displaying these traffic safety messages on overhead signs, we want to encourage motorists to make better decisions behind the wheel.

Nationally, about 90% of crashes are caused by driver behavior, so it's important to stay alert.

Start your commute home early from work if possible to avoid traffic and be patient. And remember to watch for trick-or-treaters crossing neighborhood streets tonight. Happy Halloween, my pretties! Drive safe.
