[Tagging] improve tagging of traffic_calming

[Dave Swarthout]

The traffic_calming nodes I've added are common in Thailand where they are
used to force traffic to go slow. These are most often bumps in the road,
an asphalt or concrete bump, that will knock you off your motorcycle if you
hit it fast enough. But they are definitely not crossings. I've seen a few
traffic_calming "humps" (a longer bump) that have a crossing on them in
Eugene, Oregon, but they are unusual, not the normal case.
