In the wake of relentless storms, San Diego city officials and the local police department are hustling to repair the damage and clear debris from streets and public spaces, which will involve towing vehicles in the way of these critical operations.

The San Diego Police Department (SDPD) has announced that starting January 29, "No Parking" signs will be erected in several storm-struck areas, and vehicles will be subject to towing 24 hours post signage, the SDPD has shared specifics on the affected streets via X post, where residents can see a highlighted map and ensure their vehicles are not in harm's way. These areas include the 3700 block of Beta Street and extend through several others, notably up to the 2100 block of Yama Street.

The City of San Diego and SDPD are in continuous storm recovery. To help return the streets and public property to pre-storm conditions, vehicles may be towed and impounded in order to complete street repairs, cleaning debris removal and other necessities.

The city has decided that tow, impound, and storage fees will not be charged for those within the designated flood zones for up to 30 days from the time of impoundment; this was confirmed in their recent post update.

To reclaim impounded vehicles or for further assistance, the San Diego Police Department is urging locals to reach out to the SDPD Tow Administration, the department is ready to guide vehicle owners through the recovery process, their number standing at 858-495-7830 where registered owners can get the help they need.
