tow-away zone
Vehicle removal area
A tow-away zone is an area where illegally parked vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense.
Signs mark these zones near fire hydrants, loading docks, or restricted streets: I got towed from a tow-away zone outside the hospital.
The threat of towing—rather than just a ticket—is meant to ensure compliance.
