District of Columbia Parking Violations for March 2012

Parking citation locations in Washington, D.C., geocoded to street segment centroids. The data contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, year, and violation category, originally sourced from the District's eTIMS meter work order management system.

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 the distribution of violation categories to understand common infraction types.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year, year).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY license.

Limitations

• Data is limited to a single month (March 2012), restricting longitudinal analysis.
