• Abstract: Ensuring adherence to traffic sign regulations is essential for both human and autonomous vehicle navigation. While current benchmark datasets concentrate on lane perception or basic traffic sign recognition, they often overlook the intricate task of integrating these regulations into lane operations. Addressing this gap, we introduce MapDR, a novel dataset designed for the extraction of Driving Rules from traffic signs and their association with vectorized, locally perceived HD Maps. MapDR features over 10,000 annotated video clips that capture the intricate correlation between traffic sign regulations and lanes. We define two pivotal sub-tasks: 1) Rule Extraction from Traffic Sign, which accurately deciphers regulatory instructions, and 2) Rule-Lane Correspondence Reasoning, which aligns these rules with their respective lanes. Built upon this benchmark, we provide a multimodal solution that offers a strong baseline for advancing autonomous driving technologies. It fills a critical gap in the integration of traffic sign rules, contributing to the development of reliable autonomous navigation systems.
