i see what you're getting at, but the sign shouldn't be taken to indicate anything. after all, the sign can't be exactly where the bus stops, or the bus wouldn't be able to stop there (and it would get in the way of traffic). i think this is true for most signs - the sign is generally *near*, but not exactly at the location of the item it's marking > > Remember there are relations for bus routes, they include the bus stops and > the ways that make up the route.
