You can't with slices. Slices are designed to output HTML tables so they are only rectangular.

There aren't that many signs anyway so I would separate them manually, it shouldn't take more than a minute or two.

Instead of using slices though, I would put each sign on its own artboard so you can easily export to JPG or PNG.


Manually separate the signs
Group (cmd + G) each sign so they are all in their own group. (If they aren't already)
Select All (cmd + A) then from the Layers panel dropdown select 'Release to Layers (Sequence)' (if each sign is already on its own layer you can skip this step.)
Use this script or this script to create a new artboard for each of your new layers.
File > Export... and check 'Use Artboards'
