The problem (/as I see it.../) is that it isn't clear at all what they are trying to explicitly tag.

Once a again:

  * a legal right? Absurd, as emergency vehicles always have that right.
  * physical accessibility? Absurd, as it doesn't state to which kind of vehicles (/small police car or humongous fire truc//k?/).

IMHO emergency=yes and emergency=no should be deprecated, as simple as that.

If there are physical restrictions (/weight, width, height/), tag that.

... and that's a different story, because this is valuable information for non-emergency vehicles: "you can't go there!"
