Since we'll try to predict some traffic signs using their images, we will use a dataset built for the same purpose. Fortunately, researchers of Institute für Neuroinformatik, Germany, created a dataset containing almost 40,000 images, all different and related to 43 traffic signs. The dataset we will use is part of a competition named German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB), which attempted to score the performance of multiple models for the same goal. The dataset is pretty old—2011! But it looks like a nice and well-organized dataset to start our project from.
The dataset used in this project is freely available at http://benchmark.ini.rub.de/Dataset/GTSRB_Final_Training_Images.zip.
