District of Columbia Parking Violations from July 2010

District of Columbia data details parking citation locations issued in July 2010. The dataset contains geocoded violations from the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies, summarized by time of day, week, and violation category. Data was extracted from the eTIMS system and geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment coordinates for urban planning.
• Model violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement resource allocation.
• Identify common categories of parking violations to assess traffic control policy effectiveness.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from official District of Columbia agencies including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (July 2010), restricting longitudinal analysis.
• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Data is visualized at the summarized street segment level, not at the original ticket level.
