District of Columbia Parking Violations for November 2017

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

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrols.
• Map geocoded citation locations at street segment centroids for spatial analysis of high-violation zones.
• Study patterns in the category of violation to identify common infractions and inform policy.
• Correlate summarized ticket counts with traffic control data to assess congestion prevention effectiveness.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week of year, year).
• Covers violations from multiple authorized agencies, including MPD and DDOT.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats like GEOJSON and KML for mapping.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific column names are unavailable, limiting immediate analytical understanding.
• The dataset covers only a single month (November 2017), providing a narrow temporal snapshot.
• Data is summarized (ticket counts), not raw transaction-level records, limiting granular analysis.
