District of Columbia Parking Violations for March 2009

March 2009 parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segment centroids. Data originates from the eTIMS meter work order system and was issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies like DDOT. Violations are summarized by time of day, week, year, and category.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroids for traffic enforcement planning.
• Model violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize patrol schedules.
• Identify high-incidence locations for specific violation categories to inform urban planning and congestion control.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles eTIMS system and issued by official agencies.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (March 2009), offering no longitudinal view of trends.
• Data is summarized ticket counts, not individual citation records, limiting granular transaction-level analysis.
