This morning, officers also attended Mt Glorious and Mt Nebo areas to speak 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 on these mountain roads.
