Police from the Inner West Patrol Group conducted the Mt Zero campaign last weekend. It all started up at Mt Coot-tha on Saturday morning with police spreading road safety messages to road users that meet there.
Sunday morning, officers attended the Mt Glorious Cafe and were busy speaking with local residents, motorcycle riders and cyclists about sharing the road safely.
Mt Zero is a campaign created to raise awareness of the dangers of Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious Roads. Common causal factors contributing to accidents on these roads were speed, lack of rider experience, rider error, motorcycle visibility and collision with other vehicles.
Police will continue to remind all road users on the dangers of the mountain roads they are about to experience. The aim of the campaign is to reduce accidents and fatalities within a 12 month period; 2016 saw two deaths on these very roads.
