### Mask Ban in Tijuana: Where Can They Be Worn?
As Halloween approaches, residents of Tijuana need to be aware of new regulations regarding the use of masks. According to local laws, adults are prohibited from wearing masks that obscure the face, such as those used in Halloween costumes, in most public places. This ban aims to maintain public order and ensure safety. Anyone caught violating this rule may face fines ranging from 1,085 to 3,257 pesos or even face up to 36 hours of detention if they refuse to comply.
The city’s regulations also extend to using masks while driving, as they can impair vision and lead to accidents. However, exceptions to the mask ban include specific areas such as Avenida Revolución in the Zona Centro, where mask use is allowed in moderation during Halloween celebrations.
In addition to regulating masks, the city has issued safety recommendations for families partaking in Halloween festivities. Children should always be accompanied by an adult, and parents are advised to check that candies collected are properly sealed. For added security, children should wear visible clothing at night, and parents should instruct them to seek help from patrolling officers if they get lost.
Pedestrians are encouraged to walk on sidewalks and avoid crossing between vehicles, and everyone is reminded not to throw objects at homes or cars to prevent accidents.
### Tijuana Prepares for Halloween Celebrations
As Tijuana gears up for Halloween, the local administration, with the help of over 400 municipal police officers, is set to ensure safety and order during festivities. This increased presence aims to prevent any incidents that might occur amid the celebrations.
However, there’s also a reported decrease in public transportation services during Halloween night, urging residents to plan accordingly. Meanwhile, local businesses in the Zona Centro have observed a drop in sales during Halloween and the Day of the Dead weekends, impacting commercial activities.
In addition to these preparations, the Archbishop has invited the community to partake in a special mass during the Day of the Dead, with an altar dedicated to the missing persons, blending cultural remembrance with communal prayers.
As residents enjoy the festive period, staying informed and following the recommendations will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
