DC Parking Violations Summary by Week and Time of Day

District of Columbia's Vision Zero data provides a weekly summary of parking violations issued by MPD and partner agencies for the second half of 2015. The dataset is a temporal crosstab aggregating over 50 violation types by week and time of day ranges, enabling analysis of spatial patterns across 26 distinct street segments.

Use Cases

• Analyze weekly patterns of specific violation types across 26 street segments to identify enforcement hotspots.
• Create street segment heat maps showing violation frequency by time of day ranges for targeted traffic control.
• Query by week to compare DC-wide yearly and weekly perspectives on over 50 different violation combinations.

Strengths

• Summarizes over 50 different combinations of parking violation types.
• Provides weekly aggregated data for 26 distinct street segments.
• Data originates from authoritative District of Columbia agencies like MPD and DDOT.

Limitations

• Excludes records that could not be associated with a street centerline segment or lacked a time of day.
