Why ?
- Because the knowledge of upcoming emergency bays can be helpful to a driver with a mechanical problem or a health problem.
- Because such bays are not proper lanes for driving, they can't be modeled as an increase in lanes=* for the length of the emergency bay.
Example
Tagging
highway = emergency_bay
