It's a state highway and emergency vehicles are allowed to travel on it, so emergency=yes would be appropriate as well.  ref=MI 185 would be better, since US references are XX YYY where XX is the state postal abbreviation (NOT SH, SR, K, M or whatever), but source:maxspeed=US:rural makes no sense at all (not just here, but in any context).

I never thought that emergency access would determine highway
classification. It seems like a secondary use of the way, not its main
use/purpose.

Most pedestrian ways (highway=pedestrian) are physically possible for
emergency vehicles and usually they are allowed to use them, though
slowly and carefully.
