How many hours after a vehicle is green tagged can it be towed?

The process of green tagging a vehicle involves marking it for potential towing due to being abandoned or in violation of parking regulations. Once a vehicle has been tagged, there is typically a waiting period mandated by law to provide the owner an opportunity to remove the vehicle or address the issue.

The correct timeframe after which a green-tagged vehicle can be towed is 48 hours. This period allows for adequate notification to the vehicle's owner and complies with regulations aimed at balancing enforcement with the rights of vehicle owners. The 48 hours ensure that the owner is given a reasonable chance to respond and take action regarding the tagged vehicle before any towing occurs.

Other interval options like 24 hours may not provide sufficient time for the owner to notice and respond, while longer periods like 72 or 96 hours extend beyond the regulatory requirement, leading to unnecessary delays in enforcement.
