What is the point of making tram stops before intersections, not after them?
The advantage I see of making them after intersections is, that when you want to go into direction X, you wait at the stop going in the direction X, instead of having to find out from which direction the tram you want to board on will come from.
In the city I'm currently living in, it's made the other way, and already caused me a lot of headache to find the correct stop, from which nearest tram will depart from, especially on intersections with 4 directions (2 streets crossing each other) – making it three stops to check for departing trams.
