How this category is extracted

What counts as street lights & signals: Broken street lights, outages, damaged signs, and malfunctioning traffic signals or pedestrian crossings.

In San Diego’s raw 311 feed, the following 5 service_type values roll into street lights & signals:

  • Street Light Maintenance
  • Traffic Engineering
  • Traffic Sign Maintenance
  • Traffic Signal Issue
  • Traffic Signal Timing

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_diego_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Street Light Maintenance',
  'Traffic Engineering',
  'Traffic Sign Maintenance',
  'Traffic Signal Issue',
  'Traffic Signal Timing'
)

Analyst tip: Austin splits street lights ('AE Street Light Issue - Address') from traffic signals ('TPW - Traffic Signal - Maintenance') and signs ('TPW - Traffic Sign Maintenance'). Calgary uses the 'Roads -' prefix for all three. Oakland uses the terse 'ELECTRICAL' and 'TRAFFIC_ENGIN' abbreviations.
