District of Columbia parking citation locations from October 2019, issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data includes summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, 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 enforcement hotspots.
• Study patterns in violation category to understand common infractions and enforcement focus.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment centroids, enabling spatial analysis.
• Includes summarized counts by multiple time dimensions (time of day, week of year, year).
• Covers violations from multiple authorized agencies, including MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable for assessing dataset scale.
• Data is limited to a single month (October 2019), restricting longitudinal trend analysis.
