District of Columbia Parking Violation Locations from September 2016

District of Columbia data details parking citation locations issued by the Metropolitan Police Department and partner agencies. Violations are summarized as ticket counts based on time of day, week, year, and violation category, with data geocoded to street segment centroids.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking violation frequency by time of day and week of year to optimize enforcement patrol schedules
• Map geocoded citation locations to street segment centroids for spatial hotspot analysis of enforcement zones
• Categorize ticket counts by violation type to identify common infractions for public awareness campaigns

Strengths

• Data is geocoded to street segment level, enabling precise spatial analysis
• Includes summarized ticket counts across multiple temporal dimensions (time of day, week, year)
• Published under a permissive CC-BY license for reuse

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single month (September 2016), restricting longitudinal trend analysis
• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable for assessing dataset scale
• Data is aggregated to summarized counts, limiting analysis of individual citation details
