District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations for January 2013

January 2013 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 visualize spatial patterns of traffic enforcement across street segments.
• Examine the distribution of violation categories to understand common infraction types.
• Use street segment centroid coordinates for spatial analysis of congestion-related enforcement zones.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Citations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Includes data from multiple enforcement agencies, such as MPD and DDOT traffic control officers.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting assessment of dataset scale and structure.
• Data is limited to a single month (January 2013), providing a narrow temporal snapshot.
