why? “emergency personnel“ is about people working in the emergency context, 
but it doesn’t imply there has to be an emergency, they could just as well have 
a break for coffee

foot=emergency could mean pedestrians having an emergency can pass. It is not 
selfexplanatory.

„emergency=yes“ also is probably used for different things: 
a) for „emergency forces in action“
b) for vehicles used by emergency forces, like police cars, fire fighters, 
ambulances.
