tow zone

Vehicle removal area

A tow zone is an area where illegally parked vehicles will be towed away at the owner's expense.

Signs mark these zones near fire hydrants, loading docks, or restricted areas: I got towed from a tow zone outside the hospital.

The term appears on warning signs as "tow-away zone" or simply "tow zone."
