Macon enacts Halloween curfew
SUMMARY: In the city of Mon, a Halloween curfew starting at 8:00 PM aims to enhance safety for trick-or-treaters and candy distributors. The police chief emphasizes the importance of having children off the streets by that time due to increasing darkness and distracted driving. Parents and kids must return home, while those handing out candy must stop distribution as well. This curfew has been in place for several years, with additional patrols planned for Halloween night to ensure safety for all participants. The police department wants to protect both pedestrians and drivers in the community.
