District of Columbia Parking Violations for October 2016

District of Columbia parking citation data from October 2016, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. The dataset contains geocoded violation locations summarized by time of day, week, and violation category, originally 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.
• Study patterns in violation categories to inform urban planning and congestion prevention strategies.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to the street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis.
• Violations are summarized by multiple temporal dimensions: time of day, week of year, and year.
• Sourced from the authoritative District Department of Motor Vehicles eTIMS system.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (October 2016), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
• Data is aggregated as summarized ticket counts, not individual violation records.
• Geographic scope is confined to the District of Columbia, limiting broader applicability.
