A bus stop is an attribute on a node (highway=bus_stop) in the
middle of a way. If I want to indicate that this bus stop is on
one side of the street, left and right don't matter much, since
there can be two ways both pointing towards the node. It would be
better to use the words north, east, west or south. If the way
goes from south-west to north-east, then "north" and "west" both
mean the left side of that way.
