[Tagging] improve tagging of traffic_calming

Yes, that is what I was referring to. I called them 'humps" in my hurry to
get my reply off but they are more properly called "tables" and Eugene is
the only place I've seen them. I don't think I've ever tagged any, so far,
but that might change when I next visit.

Cheers,
Dave
