1. South Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41), Bonita Springs

Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.”
Note: Tonight trick-or-treaters will be packing neighborhoods, malls and other Halloween events and activities. Motorists need to be extremely vigilant as excited children may be easily distracted, dart out into traffic or have costumes which limit their ability to see you. If you’re wearing a costume, be sure it does not impede your ability to drive safely to your destination. Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
