# πŸ›£οΈ EuroRoads, a free to use European road dataset
A high-resolution collection of **13.7 thousand road scene images** captured across the **Netherlands (Limburg)**, **Germany**, and **Belgium**.
The dataset focuses on realistic driving environments ranging from highways to small rural paths β€” designed for use in computer vision tasks such as segmentation, detection, or autonomous driving simulation.

## πŸ—ΊοΈ Description
This dataset provides **sharp and detailed** images captured in various European environments and weather conditions.
It covers a wide range of road types:
* πŸš— **Highways and intercity roads**
* πŸš™ **Regular city and suburban roads**
* 🚜 **Narrow paths and village streets**
* 🌳 **Paved roads through nature**
All images were captured at **1-second intervals**, with **long idle pauses removed** (red lights). The result is a mostly unfiltered, time-consistent dataset.
All images have kept their original file names and metadata, although location information is excluded.
