The Moreton Daily has reported a reduction in crashes and hoon driving behaviour from Moreton Bay Regional Council’s use of OmniGrip Direct’s safety surfaces on its roads. You can use this same technique to stop hoons risk injury and death on your local roads.
Council has applied OmniGrip HF to various crash prone and hoon attracting intersections. When interview by the Moreton Daily, Council advised “The treatment has also been used on a sharp bend where Stanley St joins Leitches Rd in Brendale, following a number of crashes in wet weather. Since then, there have been no reports of vehicles losing control.”
Similarly, when applied as hoon bars across intersections, Council says that hoons are being deterred.
Mayor Peter Flannery said “Not only are we putting in physical barriers to hooning like these new road surfaces, we are also working with police to apprehend offenders.”
Council has also been using recycled-glass OmniGrip CST for its green bicycle lanes. It provides greater skid-resistance and durability, which improves safety for riders and drivers, and lower lifecycle costs to Council and ratepayers.
Working with the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) and Sustainability Victoria, OmniGrip Direct has also developed a skid-resistant surface that comprises 60% post-consumer recycled-glass. Called OmniGrip Hybrid HF, this can be used like OmniGrip HF to stop hoon’s bad behaviour on your streets, while also finding another use for post-consumer recycled-glass.

Notes:
- OmniGrip HF for high friction surfaces and OmniGrip CST for green surfaces, are each TIPES Level 3 Certified in Queensland. When applied by OmniGrip CST they meet the quality and durability requirements of the Department of Transport and Main Roads TIPES Certification process, which includes proof of their ability to remain in specification for at least five years.
- OmniGrip HF is now available incorporating Australian post-consumer recycled-glass, as a result of grant funding from Sustainability Victoria and research by the Australian Road Research Board.
