District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from May 2010

May 2010 parking citation data from the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segments. The dataset contains ticket counts summarized by time of day, week of year, and violation category, sourced from the 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 traffic enforcement hotspots.
• Examine patterns in the category of violation to understand common infractions in specific areas.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Contains summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year).
• Sourced from an authoritative municipal system (DC DMV eTIMS) and processed by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.

Limitations

• Limited to a single month (May 2010), restricting longitudinal or seasonal trend analysis.
• Contains summarized counts rather than individual ticket records, limiting granular detail.
• Geographic scope is restricted to the District of Columbia, not generalizable to other regions.
