Side note: I found 3 highway=emergency_access_point in Finland. All should have been healthcare=polyclinic. Where is this tag used legitimately? Only in some natural areas, or also on highways for motor vehicles (especially long tunnels)?
In Germany these emergency access points are used by police or ambulance vehicles to enter a motorway between official exits in case of an accident.
That is not the right definition. The emergency_access_pints are places with signs like this [1]. These signs stand e.g. on tracks in the forest. If you have an emergency you can tell the police or ambulance the number of the sign and they will know your exact position in the forest.
