Exactly. And the two road don't need to form a square angle. See: ^ | | X /| / | / | v ^ One street headed north, one headed southwest. To which street the tags applied to the the X node should refer to ? > in reality, this is unlikely to happen, because it's dangerous, and > councils would never be so stupid as to encourage large road vehicles to > stop there.... In reality it happens. But anyway, this don't have to be a bus_stop. The right/left tags are supposed to be useful for many other situations... And it don't seem uncommon to have something worth to map on one side of a T junction...
