The sentence means you have committed a parking infraction of some kind, as a result of which you are apt to have your car taken by a tow-truck to an impound lot, basically "automobile jail" where you will have to pay a sum of money in order to be allowed to retrieve your car.

Your car is likely to be hitched up to a tow truck and taken to the pound (eg for parking illegally).

Basically its all down to you, you will be fined for the towing fee and anything else they want to throw at you.

Tow away zone.
It implies that if you are towed, you have to pay for it.
