District of Columbia Moving Violation Summaries for 2010

2010 data summarizes parking and moving violations issued by the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. The dataset provides a temporal crosstab of over 50 violation types aggregated by week and time of day for spatial analysis across up to 26 distinct street segments.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of violation types across up to 26 street segments to identify high-risk corridors.
• Create weekly heat maps using the temporal crosstab of violation types by week and time of day ranges.
• Query by week to examine DC-wide yearly and weekly perspectives on over 50 different violation combinations.

Strengths

• Covers over 50 different combinations of violation types for detailed analysis.
• Provides aggregated data for up to 26 distinct street segments for spatial pattern identification.
• Data is summarized by ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, and year for temporal analysis.

Limitations

• Records without a time of day or that could not be associated with a street segment were excluded, potentially introducing selection bias.
• The data is from a single year (2010), limiting analysis of trends over time.
• The summary form is an aggregation, so original ticket-level details are not available.
