District of Columbia Parking Violations from December 2021

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, year, 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 segment centroids for spatial analysis of enforcement hotspots.
• Examine trends in violation categories to assess the focus of traffic control enforcement efforts.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment level for precise spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week, year).
• Covers violations from multiple enforcement agencies within the District of Columbia.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (December 2021), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
