Quarterly data on automated red light camera violations includes geographic coordinates, council districts, and zip codes. The dataset is maintained by data.montgomerycountymd.gov and was last updated in January 2026. It tracks violation totals per camera site and quarter.
Use Cases
- Analyze violation trends over time using the QUARTER_NAME and TOTAL columns.
- Map high-risk intersections for targeted enforcement using the LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, and ADDRESS fields.
- Assess violation distribution across administrative zones by joining data on Council Districts, Municipalities, or Zip Codes.
- Correlate violation counts with site characteristics using SITE_NUMBER and DIRECTIONS data.
Strengths
- Contains precise geospatial coordinates (LATITUDE, LONGITUDE) for each violation site.
- Data is updated quarterly, providing regular snapshots of enforcement activity.
Limitations
- The total number of violation records (rows) is unknown, making sample size assessment impossible.
- Data is limited to a single geographic area (Montgomery County), limiting generalizability.
