A few round here, narrow roads where there isn't a pavement on the opposite side to wait on. There is also one or two where there is plenty of room (wide roads with pavements on both sides) but presumably as they are quiet rural but with houses close to the pavement they don't want people hanging around outside their homes, usually the place on the opposite side where the sign is there is are no houses or its a farm.

Arriva route 24 between mochdre and Colwyn bay via rhos on sea has such a stop on its route with a sign on one side of the road saying in both directions . It's located next to the co-op on Llandudno road.

And that’s a whole other topic... the weird and wonderful locations/raised kerbs and money wasted on bus stops/shelters by local authorities in bizarre places! :)
Another example then by the incompetent North Yorkshire County Council - a raised kerb stop which plainly ought to have both sides of the road on the sign, On opposite side of the road their is merely a narrow grass verge.

The stop at Aylesford priory on route 155, Chatham - Maidstone the long way around, is one example. Heading towards Maidstone, there is a pavement and stop pole/timetable, whilst in the other direction you wait on the grass verge and the buses pull into the top of the Priory access road. To make matters more interesting, it is right on a 90-degree bend (thankfully with a sizeable verge on both sides)!

If anyone is making a photographic record of these stops for a future book - well, they did two for Russia - I recommend the cakes!
