The City of Hinesville has set the hours for trick-or-treating on Halloween.

Hinesville City Council approved holding trick-or-treat from the hours of 6-8 p.m. on Halloween. October 31 falls on a Tuesday this year.

Parents and guardians can help make the trick-or treating experience a safe fun, following a few tips from Safe Kids Worldwide.

According to Safe Kids Worldwide, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than any other day of the year.

Safe Kids Worldwide recommends the following:

* Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.

* Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.

*  Slow down and be alert. Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street. Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.

* Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.

* When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Choose face paint over masks when possible. Masks can limit children’s vision.
