Similar tagging scheme, yes, but with a big functional difference, that is,
they appear on single-lane roads and can be used in both directions,
independently of the side of the road they are on.
My starting question was specifically for emergency bays on two-lane roads
where, typically, you could
Another one that is similar is passing place:

Seems to be rather similar to emergency_bay in tagging methodology.

Emergency bays and bus bays are physically very similar, i.e. a short piece
of an additional lane on a road.
Unfortunately the two tags highway=emergency_bay and
bus_bay=both|left|right use very different approaches to describing
essential the same physical arrangement.
bus_bay=both|left|right
For bus bays the way is split twice, creating an extra segment. At that
point it's easy to use left/right/both. This is the same principle that is
used when tagging turn lanes near crossings.
I'm sure there are people who don't like splitting ways in ever smaller
pieces, but that ship has sailed.
for bus_bays the wiki defines left/right/both
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bus_bay)
It makes sense to use the same I think.

Also replying to myself...the high camera angle is misleading, you're not
getting over that ridge in a controlled manner; it's just tall enough that
even my pickup (a Chevy C2500) will not clear it without high-centering
(and breaking off the running boards in the process).

Navigation apps manage it quite well, they have to use it on every roundabout
for example.
I do think I have seen emergency bays on the offside at some time, wide dual
carriageways may be in North America?

You would have thought so. However, Albert Pundt's example is a case with
the emergency bay on the left-hand side in a right-hand driving country (

I guess the problem is that for a bidirectional road it is not clear, which
direction is oncoming traffic.

Wouldn't an emergency bay always be on the side of the road away from
oncoming traffic eg drive on left, bay is at left side of road, drive on
rig
The tag highway=emergency_bay as node is in use 3700 times, even though it
is still only a proposal.
How do I indicate the side of the road the EB is serving in the case of a
bidirectional road.
I could see two valid approaches:
direction=forward|backward
emergency_bay=right|left
It seems that non
