The Mumbai traffic department is very strict with parking on Mumbai roads. If you leave your car in a no-parking zone for a few minutes, your car will surely be towed away. You have to be very particular while parking your two-wheeler / four-wheeler because if your car / bike gets towed, there is a penalty / charge which you have to pay.

    Wrong direction parking
    Angular parking
    Parking at bus stop / Taxi stand
    Parking at Gate / Entrance
    Parking on bridges
    Parking at light junctions (traffic signals)
