District of Columbia Parking Violations for March 2013

District of Columbia data details parking citation locations from March 2013. The dataset contains parking violations issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies like the District Department of Transportation. Data is geocoded to street segments and summarized by time of day, week, year, and violation category.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations using geocoded street segment centroids.
• Model violation frequency based on time of day and week of year variables.
• Identify high-enforcement areas by aggregating ticket counts per violation category.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level for spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Covers enforcement from multiple agencies including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting initial assessment.
• Data is limited to a single month (March 2013), restricting longitudinal analysis.
• Original data is summarized from a management system, which may obscure individual ticket details.
