District of Columbia Parking Violations for August 2013

District of Columbia parking citation data from August 2013, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. The dataset contains ticket counts summarized by time of day, week, and violation category, geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to identify peak enforcement periods.
• Map ticket counts by street segment centroid coordinates for geospatial hot spot analysis.
• Examine patterns across categories of violation to understand common infraction types.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates.
• Contains summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions like time of day and week.
• Sourced from official District of Columbia agencies including the Metropolitan Police Department.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (August 2013), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Contains aggregated ticket counts, not individual citation records, limiting granular analysis.
• Data is over a decade old, which may not reflect current parking enforcement patterns.
