Police from the Inner West Patrol Group are conducted the Mt Zero campaign on the weekend. It all started up at Mt Coot-tha on Saturday morning with police spreading road safety messages to road users that visited.
The Mt Zero campaign was created to raise awareness of the dangers on roads in Mt Coot-tha, Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious Roads and the aim of the campaign is to reduce accidents and fatalities on these mountain roads.
Common factors contributing to accidents on these roads were speed, lack of rider experience, driver error, poor visibility and collision with other vehicles.
We appeal for all road users to slow down on mountain roads and drive to the ever changing conditions by taking extra care when driving and riding.

Police would like to thank the public for their
