Swedish Traffic Signs Information with English Translations

Dataset Description

This dataset provides structured information about Swedish traffic signs in JSON Lines (.jsonl) format, ideal for traffic sign recognition, multimodal language model training, computer vision tasks, or educational purposes. Each entry includes a sign’s code, category, title, and description in Swedish (_sv) and English (_en). Swedish information is fetched from the Swedish Transport Agency, with translations using US English equivalents where applicable for global compatibility, heavily referencing the MUTCD 11th Edition (October 2024, https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno_11th_Edition.htm, source: https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/pdfs/11th_Edition/mutcd11theditionhl.pdf). Where no US equivalent exists, clear translations preserve Swedish context.

The Swedish information in the dataset is sourced from the Swedish Transport Agency, covering signs across categories such as regulatory, warning, and transit signals." Images are provided in the /images/ folder.
