Data imports - where someone has data for us but there's nobody to maintain the data once in OSM - are not universally welcomed in OSM. You must meet certain requirements (e.g. discuss your planned import on the appropriate mailing list) before you can proceed. Have a look at the Imports wiki page which links to these requirements and also lists available software.

I'd also say it's highly unlikely that these coordinates will be of the accuracy required to place them on the correct side of the road, so they would need manual adjustment before adding them to OSM in any case.
