Quite common on major highways out here as well.


I'm not sure if I'd call them "common", but they occur in the US also. 
(I would guess they're more common on freeways with longer distances 
between exits; I seem to mainly notice them on long trips, and not so 
much around cities.)

The pertinent question isn't so much if emergency bays are common, but
if this particular tagging for them is established.

In my opinion, mapping what amounts to a short lane (no physical
separation) as a separate way is contrary to what we usually do, e.g.
with bus bays. And seeing how the tag currently has less than a thousand
uses on ways, I feel that the practice of using highway=emergency_bay on
ways should not be recommended on Map Features.

Very handy thing to know if e.g. you have a flat tyre & you can see that
there's a stopping bay 300m away rather than stopping to change it "right
here" :-(

+1 for priority roads (although I believe the opposite is much more common: 
adding giveway and stop restrictions to crossing roads)

emergency bays are quite common in Italy and Germany when there isn’t an 
emergency lane.

Priority road definitely seems like you'd want it on the map features list
if you're in a country that uses it.

Not sure how common emergency bays are?

[Tagging] Addition of highway=emergency_bay and priority_road=yes to Map Features?

[Joseph Eisenberg]

Two tags were just added to the list of approved and de-facto highway
=* tags on Map features:
highway =emergency_bay
 and
priority_road =yes
.
Both have mainly been used in Germany and nearby areas of central Europe.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:priority_road
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Demergency_bay

I question whether these tags are established enough to merit inclusion on
the Highway map features page and the main Map Features list. Thoughts?
