How to map prepared and planned bus stops that are not in use yet? (lemmy.ml)

Recently the city redesigned the street and prepared at least 4 bus stops. The stops all have the road markings and tactile paving, etc. but no bus stop signs yet and currently no line stops there. (There is an ongoing reorganization of bus lines in my area.)

The wiki page describes how to map a bus stop and I can follow along. Everything except the line(s) and the names is local knowledge.

How should those be mapped (if at all)? Map what’s known already and add construction:bus_stop?

@Dirk
If they have started construction they are definitely verifiable enough to map.

The road markings might justify a public\_transport=stop\_position if that is common in your area, otherwise I think should be enough to just add a node with highway=construction and construction=bus\_stop roughly where the pole or shelter will be.

Mmmh, yes, this seems to be reasonable, thanks!

The more I think about it the more I don't see a real reason to map those stops in their current state.
