District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from March 2017

District of Columbia data details parking citation locations issued in March 2017 by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Violations are summarized by time of day, week of year, year, and violation category, with data geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of parking violations by street segment centroid coordinates to identify enforcement hotspots.
• Model violation frequency based on time of day and week of year to optimize patrol scheduling.
• Segment ticket counts by category of violation to understand common infraction types.

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 authoritative District of Columbia agencies including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting assessment of dataset scale.
• Data is limited to a single month (March 2017), restricting longitudinal or seasonal analysis.
• As summarized counts, the dataset may lack granular details of individual citation records.
