Kingaroy Police marked Queensland Road Safety Week with a special breakfast outside the station in Alford Street on Wednesday.
Visitors enjoyed bacon and egg burgers cooked up by Officer-in-Charge Senior Sergeant David Tierney and Detective Sergeant Scott Prendergast.
Constable Rhys Golinski demonstrated how the police LiDAR speed guns work, and there were also displays of public safety awareness material.
Police officers chatted with passers-by.
The Australian Road Safety Foundation’s inflatable car was parked on the footpath so people could leave their road safety messages.
An unusual attraction was a Yamaha motorbike owned by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.
The motorbike is fitted with special sensors to record data about the roads it is ridden on, measuring data such as camber and surface roughness.
The data collected is recorded on a laptop computer fitted to the bike and can then be used by road engineers and forensic crash investigators.
The motorbike will be in the South Burnett until Friday.
