Its perhaps not ideal to place the bus_stop off to the side of the highway since the stop is part of the highway. Off to the side means that it is more difficult to include the feature in routing and when marking up routes on a bespoke map. However the problem of which side of the street is real and when I started adding bus_stop's in Birmingham I wondered too how I would do it. In the end I took the lead from the bus stop signage itself. Here they not only have their location (normally the name of the road they are on plus the name of a nearby cross street or major land feature) but also "towards" information. So I've been tagging nodes (as part of the highway) for each stop with something like this: highway=bus_stop location=Birmingham Road, Driffold towards=Sutton Coldfield route_ref=104|104A|905|905X shelter=true ref=053201 I believe the "towards" should work because the place names would be expected to be in the database (once the map is complete) Cheers Andy > > > > "Micromapping" is fun.
