tow zones

No-parking removal zones

Tow zones are designated areas where illegally parked vehicles will be towed away at the owner's expense.

Signs typically warn tow zone—no parking or violators will be towed.

The term appears most often in urban areas near fire hydrants, loading docks, or during street cleaning and snow removal: I got towed from a tow zone outside the hospital.
