NYPD Moving Violation Summonses With Geographic Coordinates

NYPD Moving Violation B Summonses (Year to Date) records moving violation tickets issued by the New York Police Department. Each row represents a single summons, containing details like violation code, vehicle registration, and precise location. The data is collected by NYPD officers upon completion of the New York State form and is updated regularly.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of traffic enforcement using Latitude, Longitude, and Police Precincts columns.
• Model the correlation between VIOLATION_TIME, VIOLATION_CODE, and VEH_CATEGORY to predict high-violation periods.
• Assess enforcement equity across Community Districts and City Council Districts using JURIS_CD and VIOLATION_DATE.
• Track vehicle registration trends by analyzing REG_STATE_CD and REG_PLATE_NUM frequencies.
• Join with external datasets on Zip Codes or Borough Boundaries for neighborhood-level impact studies.

Strengths

• Contains precise geospatial data via Latitude, Longitude, and Location Point columns.
• Includes multiple jurisdictional and administrative area codes (Police Precincts, Community Districts, City Council Districts).
• Covers a wide range of violation details including vehicle category, registration state, and law code.

Limitations
