Calgary On-Street Parking Rates and Zone Regulations

Hourly parking prices are mapped to specific PRICE_ZONE areas within Calgary's on-street parking system. The dataset, provided by data.calgary.ca, includes zone attributes like ZONE_CAP, MAX_TIME, and PARKING_RESTRICT_TYPE. It was last updated on April 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Predicting parking occupancy by correlating PRICE_ZONE rates with time-based ENFORCEABLE_TIME and MAX_TIME limits.
• Mapping available street parking capacity by joining ZONE_CAP and STALL_TYPE with the geospatial the_geom coordinates.
• Analyzing the impact of PARKING_RESTRICT_TYPE and NO_PARKING rules on traffic flow in specific BLOCK_SIDE areas.
• Optimizing permit allocation by modeling PERMIT_ZONE availability against SEG_CAP and ZONE_LENGTH.

Strengths

• Contains over 20 detailed columns describing parking zone rules and physical attributes.
• Includes geospatial data (the_geom) for mapping and spatial analysis.
• Data is actively maintained, with an update timestamp in April 2026.

Limitations

• Exact row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data formats and value distributions.
• License terms are unspecified, which may restrict commercial or redistribution use.
