Miami Beach Might Let You Dodge a Tow—Here’s the Deal

If you’ve ever felt the soul-crushing pain of realizing your car got towed in Miami Beach, good news: a new proposal could give you a heads-up before the city snatches your ride. 🚗💀

How It Works

The plan would send text alerts to registered residents if they park illegally in non-life safety zones—think residential areas, not fire lanes or handicap spots. You’d get a 15-minute grace period to move your car before the tow truck pulls up.

🔥 What’s still a no-go? If you park in a fire lane or handicap spot, it’s still game over—immediate towing, no warnings.

How to Sign Up

To get these lifesaving notifications, you’d need to register your phone number with the city’s parking system. No sign-up? No text, no warning, just vibes (and an expensive trip to the tow lot).

What’s Next?

The Miami Beach Commission votes on this Wednesday, so stay tuned. If it passes, your car (and your wallet) might just thank you. 🤞

Until then, maybe triple-check those parking signs. 🚧👀
