District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from January 2012

January 2012 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segments. The data contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, originally sourced from the eTIMS meter work order system.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to identify peak enforcement periods.
• Map geocoded citation locations to street segment centroids for spatial analysis of enforcement hotspots.
• Study patterns in the category of violation to understand common infractions.
• Use the summarized ticket counts for temporal trend analysis of parking enforcement activity.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates.
• Contains multiple summarized dimensions including time of day, week, year, and violation category.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles eTIMS system.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (January 2012), restricting longitudinal analysis.
