i think he means where there is a t-junction (say, a minor road in to a 
major road), and the bus stop is on the major road, exactly opposite the 
minor road. the node is shared between both roads, so the renderer may 
draw the bus stop twice, once for each road

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....
