This dataset contains locations and schedules of regular tow-away zones which apply at the blockface-level in San Francisco. It does not include temporary street closures which could result in towing. The dataset contains:Geospatial information for blockfaces with known tow schedulesTow schedules with starting and ending hours and days applicableAddress ranges for the blockface segmentThe centerline identifier of the street segment on which the blockface occursNotes, if known, to enhance the information about the regulation.
This dataset was compiled in October and November of 2011. It reflects legislated changes through November 1, 2011. It is at least 95% accurate and may not include all blockface-level tow-away zones with regular, weekly schedules. Please email corrections or discrepancies to info@sfpark.org. Always look for signage near your parking space and follow posted regulations to avoid parking citations and possible towage.

| cnn (Centerline Network Number) | Centerline Network Number is the primary key/identifier for a street segment or node assigned by the Department of Public Works in the city's official basemap. Segments refer to lines representing the street, nodes represent points where two or more segments intersect. CNN IDs are often found encoded as text (CNNTEXT) or numbers (CNN). Basemap street segments are available here: https://data.sfgov.org/d/7hfy-8sz8; Basemap intersections (nodes) are here: https://data.sfgov.org/d/ctsg-7znq | cnn |

| lf_toadd | lf_toadd | |
| multigeom (Multi Geometry) | A string either true or false indicating whether the geometry has been split into multiple records from the original administrative record. This happens when an administrative record refers to non-contiguous geometries like two parcels on either side of a street. During automated publishing the single record is split into multiple records, one for each part of the non-contiguous geometry. If you are analyzing data where this is true, be aware that there will be duplicate data. | multigeom |
