Why ?

• Because we want to map the German-sign 328, the French [C8], the Dutch L14 sign

• 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
