Actually, this is not unlikely at all. All you need is an uneven spacing of
bus stops on each side of the road, if only one node is marked for a stop on
either side of the road.
Yes, you're right, it is not that unlikely. But still, these role
definitions are obsolete, because it has become common practice to put
bus stops beside the road.
If paired bus stops are marked separately on each side of the road - which
seems to be the standard - only one is served in each direction, even if the
road is used in both directions, so the reverse of your point appears to be
true...
In that case the definition given in the wiki doesn't apply any more,
because, according to it, the choice of role explicitly depends on the
way a node is part of. (Weak point by the way: which role is the right
one for a stop node that is part of two ways having different orientations?)
If I've misunderstood what you meant, my apologies.
I hope this discussion actually gets somewhere useful - I'm getting annoyed
at the amount of what I'm increasingly regarding as spam arriving in my
inbox.
Should we move the discussion to the proposal's talk page?
cheers
