DC Parking Violation Summaries by Week and Time of Day for 2013

Over 50 violation type combinations are aggregated by week of year and time of day for Washington, D.C. The data, from the District of Columbia's Vision Zero initiative, provides a weekly perspective on parking enforcement patterns for the second half of 2013.

Use Cases

• Analyze weekly patterns of violation type frequency across 26 weeks to identify enforcement hotspots.
• Create temporal heat maps of violation types aggregated by time of day ranges for specific street segments.
• Compare violation type distributions across different weeks of the year to assess seasonal enforcement trends.

Strengths

• Covers over 50 distinct combinations of parking violation categories.
• Provides 26 weeks of aggregated data for temporal analysis.
• Data is summarized by specific time-of-day ranges and weeks of the year.

Limitations

• Records without an associated street segment or time of day were excluded, potentially biasing spatial and temporal coverage.
• Data is aggregated and summarized, limiting analysis to pre-defined categories and time bins instead of raw ticket-level details.
• The dataset covers only a specific 26-week period in 2013, limiting contemporary analysis.
