District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from November 2012

District of Columbia parking citation data from November 2012, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Violation locations are summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, geocoded to street segment centroids.

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 segments for spatial analysis of high-violation corridors.
• Examine ticket count distributions across different categories of violation to prioritize enforcement strategies.
• Use street segment centroid coordinates for visualizing citation density in urban planning applications.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Citations are summarized by multiple dimensions including time of day, week, year, and violation category.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS system.

Limitations

• Data is limited to a single month (November 2012), providing a narrow temporal snapshot.
• As summarized counts, the dataset may lack granular details of individual citations.
• Geographic scope is restricted to the District of Columbia, limiting broader applicability.
