I tried to make a heat map from the @cyclingscotland.bsky.social data counters, but instead of a heat map of bikes it's just a heat map of counters.

A greyscale map of Inverness. Some parts of the road network are highlighted in red and orange around areas where traffic counters replaced in the city. It tells you nothing about where people are riding bikes in the city.

Something doesn't seem right in the way the collision data is reported in this article: www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/20mph-s... Some read flags:

20mph speed limit branded ‘ploy against drivers’ as collision figures reach five year high

New figures released by the Scottish Government show 570 collisions on 20mph roads across Scotland ended in injury last year.
