District of Columbia Parking Violations for September 2012

September 2012 parking citation data from the District of Columbia, geocoded to street segments. The dataset contains summarized ticket counts based on time of day, week of year, and violation category, as issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Data was extracted from the DC Department of Motor Vehicles' eTIMS system and visualized using street segment centroids.

Use Cases

Strengths
