Los Angeles On-Street Metered Parking Inventory and Policies

An inventory of all on-street metered parking spaces in the City of Los Angeles. The dataset includes Space/Meter ID, block-level address, hourly rate, metered time limit, operating hours, enforced restrictions, and coordinates. It is updated as operationally feasible by the City of Los Angeles.

Use Cases

• Map parking meter locations and hourly rates using Space/Meter ID and coordinates for urban planning
• Analyze parking policy enforcement by correlating metered time limits with enforced parking restrictions
• Model parking demand and revenue potential using hourly rate and meter operating hours data
• Integrate with the separate Parking Meter Occupancy dataset using Space/Meter ID for real-time availability analysis

Strengths

• Covers all on-street metered parking spaces in the City of Los Angeles, a major metropolitan area
• Includes multiple policy dimensions per space: hourly rate, time limit, operating hours, and enforced restrictions
• Can be integrated with a related dataset providing real-time occupancy for over 5,000 spaces

Limitations

• Operational changes may create discrepancies between the data and posted parking signs, which are the legal authority
• The exact number of rows (parking spaces) and columns is not specified in the input
• Update frequency is described as 'as operationally feasible,' which may not be regular
