Parking Violation Locations in Washington D.C. for July 2009

District of Columbia data provides geocoded parking citation locations issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Records are summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, originally sourced from the eTIMS meter work order system.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroid coordinates for urban planning.
• Model temporal trends in ticket counts aggregated by time of day and week of year for enforcement resource allocation.
• Identify frequent violation categories to inform traffic control and congestion prevention policy.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Includes summarized counts across multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from official District agencies including the Metropolitan Police Department and Department of Transportation.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (July 2009), offering a narrow temporal snapshot.
• Data is pre-aggregated into summarized counts, limiting analysis of individual citation details.
• Unknown total record count and specific feature columns restrict assessment of dataset scale and granularity.
