How this category is defined
What counts as street lights & signals: Broken street lights, outages, damaged signs, and malfunctioning traffic signals or pedestrian crossings.
In Washington’s raw 311 data, the following 3 service_type values are counted as street lights & signals:
- Roadway Signs
- Streetlight Repair Investigation
- Traffic Lights and Pedestrian Walk Signals
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <washington_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Roadway Signs',
'Streetlight Repair Investigation',
'Traffic Lights and Pedestrian Walk Signals'
)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.
