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.
