TX 249 Proposed

Thanks to whoever added the State Highway 249 proposed extension between Tomball and Navasota. I had planned on adding it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I used the plans from TXDOT to add some details to it and renamed it to "State Highwy 249 (Proposed)".

Highway=motorway
Oneway=yes
Maxspeed=number
Minspeed=number
Name=name of the motorway
Ref=reference_name
Lanes=number
Use these tags for special situations:
Highway=motorway_link for entrance and exit ramps.
Highway=motorway_junction for connections to motorway_links and add the exit number.
Bridge=yes at bridges and overpasses.
Layer=1 for the bridge segment.
Tunnel=yes at tunnels.


Motorway_link: An entrance/exit ramp to a motorway.

Use these tags:
Highway=motorway_link
Highway=motorway_junction for node connections to motorway_links and add the exit number.
