District of Columbia Parking Violations for April 2009

April 2009 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data includes summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, year, and violation category, geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded citation locations to identify high-violation street segments for urban planning.
• Study patterns in violation category types to assess the focus of traffic control enforcement.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids for spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized counts by multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year, year).
• Covers violations from multiple enforcement agencies including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Contains only data from a single month (April 2009), limiting longitudinal analysis.
• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable for assessing scale.
• Data is visualized at the summarized street segment level, not individual ticket level.
