emergency=yes tag regarded as a feature instead of an access tag

[Vakonof]

This issue was raised over at the Nominatim Github, but apparently it is related to the Overpass API.

When querying features on osm.org, Overpass seems to regard features tagged with emergency=yes as emergency features instead of other features that simply have access for emergency services. I request a change to ignore emergency=yes when describing the feature, and instead focus on other main tags such as highway=*.

A good example is the Hoogstraat in Wageningen, which is a pedestrian highway:

With emergency=yes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/297710230

Without emergency=yes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/6921808

The query to determine the respective elements resides on the osm.org repo over at: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website

This is the wrong repo, really.
