District of Columbia Parking Violations for December 2012

December 2012 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, 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 geocoded citation locations to street segments for spatial analysis of high-violation corridors.
• Study distributions across violation categories to understand common infraction types.
• Examine data from partner agencies like DDOT to assess intersection congestion enforcement patterns.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable for assessing dataset scale.
• Limited to a single month (December 2012), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Data is aggregated to summarized counts, limiting access to individual ticket records.
