Section 4: Parking Removal
4.1 Register With The Tow-Desk To clear the parking lane of parked cars for any construction work, the Contractor is required to post “Tow-Away No Stopping” signs. These signs must first be registered with the Division of Parking and Traffic Tow-Desk through 311 by calling 415-701-2311 at least 72 hours in advance of the effective date and time. Once registered, the signs shall be posted at least 72 hours in advance of the effective date and time in order to give the public sufficient notice. Construction tow-away zones can be registered for a maximum of one month at a time. If additional time is needed to complete construction, the Contractor may request a time extension by calling the Tow-Desk at 415-701-2311. Approval of a time extension must be obtained and new signs must be posted at least 72 hours prior to the expiration of the previously registered period. Parking must not be prohibited where there is no construction activity. Construction tow-away zones are for construction activities only, such as loading, unloading and storage of materials, special equipment occupancy, etc. These zones do NOT apply to vehicles not actively involved in construction, including all private vehicles and any other company vehicle. Workers' parking is not allowed within a construction tow-away zone during the effective hours of the zone.

A copy of the code section is provided on page 24, Appendix A for reference.
