Washington D.C. Parking Violations from December 2018, Geocoded to Street Segments

Parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data was originally extracted from the District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system, geocoded to street segment centroids, and visualized using GIS. The dataset contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, year, and category of violation.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations based on geocoded street segment data.
• Model temporal trends in enforcement based on summarized counts by time of day, week, and year.
• Support Vision Zero traffic safety initiatives by identifying problematic parking areas.
• Train computer vision models for urban scene understanding using associated geospatial features.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, providing precise spatial coordinates.
• Includes summarized counts by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect temporal bias as it covers only December 2018.
