[Imports] first TMC road-import - please review

[Sam Vekemans]

That sounds awesome!

So in english, thats "your adding an extra tag on all the roads so
that an external app can broadcast exactly where the traffic
congestion is."

similar to a flickr tag, where its useful for flickr to broadcast
where the photos were taken.

Sounds good,
Sam
