Tools for this tag

An area where vehicles impounded by the police are stored. Also known as a towing yard or impoundment lot.

In some jurisdictions, improperly parked vehicles are towed and impounded by a certified agency, rather than the police. It is unclear whether police= also applies for such cases. A suggested alternative amenity=car pound has a low usage count.

How to map

Draw the outline of the area used as a car pound by the police and tag it with police= and name=*.
