District of Columbia Parking Violations from December 2017

December 2017 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segments by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer. The data summarizes ticket counts based on time of day, week, and violation category, originally sourced from the Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS system.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded citation locations to street segment centroids for spatial analysis of traffic enforcement hotspots.
• Study the distribution of violation categories to identify common infractions in specific urban areas.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions like time of day and week of year.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS management system.

Limitations
