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.
