Parking Violation Locations in Washington D.C. for November 2014

Parking citation locations in the District of Columbia, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data is geocoded to street segment centroids and visualized as summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category. The dataset originates 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 optimize enforcement patrol schedules.
• Map geocoded citation data at the street segment level to identify high-violation corridors for urban planning.
• Study patterns across categories of violation to assess the impact of specific traffic control policies.
• Use street segment centroid coordinates to visualize spatial clusters of parking enforcement activity.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, providing precise spatial coordinates for analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple dimensions like time of day and violation category.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicle's eTIMS management system.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOJSON and KML for mapping applications.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, limiting assessment of dataset scale.
• Data is limited to a single month (November 2014), offering a narrow temporal snapshot.
• As summarized counts, the dataset may lack individual ticket-level details for granular analysis.
