State towing law pages redesigned to be easier to read: six quick answers up top (tow fee limit, storage per day, drop fee, your belongings, the deadline to contest and whether the lot must take a card), then clear next steps.
State fee tables are now grouped by type of tow, with longer notes tucked under Details.
State rules now show as cards, and rules we could not confirm sit on one line instead of filling the page.
The cities page is now a card grid you can filter by name or state.

First version: towing rules for all 50 states and DC, 30 cities and 84 impound lots, each with official sources.
Re-checked weakly sourced state rules (including Washington, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Mississippi and Rhode Island) against official statute and regulator pages, and filled every rule we could confirm.
Added impound costs by city and a find-your-towed-car guide.
Seattle storage shown per 12-hour period, as the city bills it.
Added snow emergency towing for Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Baltimore, from official city pages.
Added official state towed-car searches for Utah, Michigan, Oklahoma, North Carolina, North Dakota, Idaho, Arkansas and Texas, with what each one covers.
Correction: FindMyTowedCar is used by Houston, Harris County and some other cities. It is not a statewide Texas search.
Chicago police tows confirmed at $250 plus $50 a day. The $150 and $25 a day that some sites show match the city winter parking-ban rates, not regular tows.
Indianapolis lot phone number left off: the city page prints it with a typo.
