Victory! We've reached the Promised Land!

Yes, councils do measure cycle traffic. I've seen them doing counts in Bristol a few times now.

I always make a point of asking if they are counting cyclists, normally they say "no", motorised vehicles only - so it was a nice change.

I think the guys were bored, that's why they were so fortchcoming.

They do them separately here - the sample point is the end of a cycle/ pedestrian footbridge, so they won't get too many cars!

Origamist and User482 have, I think, hit upon something. Counting motor vehicles and bikes seperately may be a think of the past.
