I only got there because of my bike packing weekends: think 1000 flowers planted, and riding a regular evening ride: I had a string of 20 point flowers or something, so 1000 points were easily scored...

You need to get a London Marathon traffic light! My highest ever score (10,000+) came when I had an active traffic light for Ride London :-) Claimed it purely by accident on a lunchtime run, had no idea it would get so many points.

Oh wow! I don't get those here, as I am in the middle of scenic nowhere.

So if I own a traffic light but then don’t revisit does it just disappear?

Yes. Ownership lasts a week. You can refresh your ownership. If you do not, the traffic light reverts to being unclaimed. If no one claims it after a day, it disappears.

Having traffic lights in a rural area is almost pointless in every sense, I have found.

Even where I live in London traffic lights rarely generate many points. Really need them on a race route.

I normally get about one traffic light a month in my home circle. This week, there have been 5 in just 4 days! I guess they are related to the bugs belonging to someone else that have started appearing this week.

However, clicking on the bugs gives "Owned by [blank]". A mysterious new player in my village? Stranger still is that, judging by the pattern of flowers being planted around my circle, the new player's home circle is sited on/near the same point as mine is! :-o
Is someone stalking me? :-p

Yeah there’s no point in owning these traffic lights, the guy whose bugs are appearing in my area doesn’t live here any more! It’s really still just me on my own all by myself!

Frequently Asked
===========
1) The scoreboard and markers don't 'reset' on the first of the month any more. They work on a rolling 30 day system.
2) You only need to worry about red bugs.
