Hi. Thanks for your pull request. It definitely makes sense to include a preset for this feature. 👍
See the comments below for a few tweaks to be made before the preset can be merged into the index.

🤔 I think we can find a better name for this one. Especially the word "highway" in there irritates me a bit, since these features are often found on hiking paths. What about Emergency Marker, Emergency Location Marker or Rescue Point (and add the not chosen one as aliases)?

But for hiking trails etc. I think emergency=access_point is more intended. highway=emergency_access_point refers I think from the tag to a road.

Hm… the wiki doesn't mention that highway=emergency_access_point is limited to roadside rescue points. On the contrary, it seems to indicate that off-road rescue points are the main intended purpose behind the tag:
For areas which are hard to access, like woods or waterways, some countries offer a network of emergency access points.
Also, most examples I could find are along hiking paths, see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1jv1 to check yourself.

Ok, you may be right. I just wanted to create a demarcation to emergency=access_point …
But that doesn't have to be right now.

I tried to make a PR for highway=emergency_access_point. This is my first PR here so I hope, everything is fine. And if not forgive me =)
