DC Parking Violation Summaries for 2010 Weeks 1-26

District of Columbia Vision Zero data provides a weekly summary of parking violations issued by MPD and partner agencies. The dataset aggregates ticket counts by time of day, week of year, and over 50 violation categories for 26 weeks. It is formatted as a temporal crosstab for spatial analysis across street segments.

Use Cases

• Analyze weekly patterns of specific violation categories across 26 street segments to identify enforcement hotspots.
• Create street segment heat maps using time of day and week of year aggregates to visualize temporal-spatial violation density.
• Compare the frequency of over 50 different violation type combinations to determine the most common parking infractions.
• Model violation trends by week and time of day ranges to forecast future enforcement needs.

Strengths

• Covers over 50 different combinations of parking violation categories.
• Provides 26 distinct weekly summaries for half a year of 2010.
• Aggregated for spatial analysis across DC street segments.
• Data excludes records without valid location or time associations, improving consistency for analysis.

Limitations

• Data is summarized and aggregated, losing individual ticket-level detail.
• Limited to 26 weeks (half a year) from 2010, representing a specific historical period.
• Records without associated street segments or times were excluded, potentially introducing selection bias.
