Mt Glorious Road has witnessed plenty of riding accidents. Popular amongst motorcycle riders, the road is perfect for adrenaline junkies with its twists and turns that motorcycle riders find thrilling.
Despite the riveting ride it gives motorcycle riders and car drivers, the road remains a hazard. The Department of Transport and Main Roads have recorded 567 injured, of which 304 are motoryclists. Of the 13 fatalities from November 2011 to October 2016, seven were motorcycle riders.
This prompted the Inner West Patrol Group along with The Gap Neighborhood Watch to start a campaign, Mt Zero, to spread awareness and road safety messages to riders. The main goal of Mt Zero is to lessen what seems to be an alarming number of accidents on the road and possibly lowering it down to zero.
This is not the first time that the police will educate riders in the area. They have been going to various places in Brisbane to spread road safety and awareness.
For more information on this event, you can contact the Crime Prevention Unit.
Mt Glorious Cafe, the venue where the speaking event will be held on 24-25 June, is a popular spot for riders.
The cafe boasts a beautiful view overlooking the mountains with an extensive menu offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
