[Tagging] bridge=humpback ?

[Никита]

I'm fine with this tag being used in UK. But I care about it's definition.
If this tag will be interesting only in some territory, why not to define
this tag specific to UK? You didn't answer how we should define "humpiness"
of bridge?.. Is this you who minority and cannot pass this bridge without
speed reduction or it is me who can drive everywhere at regular speed? This
is really subjective.
