[OSM-talk] Left and Right?

[Gervase Markham]

What's current tagging best practice with things which are to the left
or the right of a way (e.g. bus stops)?

A nearly-approved proposal for a canal-side object has been objected to
by someone who thinks that the tag should be on a node which is part of
the canal rather than next to it, with left/right indicated as part of
the tag key name.

Do we do that for any other tags? Do we have highway:left=bus_stop?
