Parking Bay Locations and Restrictions in Camden

Parking bays in the London Borough of Camden, detailing their location and operational rules. The dataset includes attributes such as approximate bay length, number of spaces, restriction type, times of operation, maximum stay, tariff, road name, and Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). Geographic coordinates and Well-Known Text (WKT) geometry are provided for spatial analysis.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of restriction types and maximum stay durations across different CPZs to inform parking policy.
• Calculate total parking capacity per road using the approximate number of spaces attribute for urban planning.
• Visualize parking bay geometries using the WKT attribute in a GIS to assess street-level parking availability.
• Model parking demand by correlating tariff information with times of operation and road names.

Strengths

• Includes geographic coordinates and WKT geometry for spatial analysis of parking bay extents.
• Contains detailed operational attributes like restriction type, times of operation, maximum stay, and tariff.
• Provided by the authoritative local government body, the London Borough of Camden.

Limitations

• Represents aggregated parking bays, not individual parking spaces, limiting granular analysis.
• Specific data volume metrics like row count and file size are unknown.
• Coordinates are based on an arbitrary node along the bay's polyline, not a precise centroid.
