Towing Issues: towing, speed limit signs, subsection c

Question
I was towed from in front of my grandmother's apartments.  I was not in here parking space but I would like to know by law does the complex have to mark off no parking spaces or at least clearly mark the towing zone.  I live in Miami, Fl
Thank you for your response

Answer
well as I take it from the question you were parked but not in a space.. Does that mean you were parked in the roadway beside a curb ?

Florida law (listed below) does require signs to be posted at the entrances to the complexes and such. But it does not "specifically say" that each area has to be marked... In other words there does not have to be makings every 10 feet or so saying no parking... But if you are in a driveway or roadway, they might have curbs which are painted yellow or red... That also does at times denote no parking..

A bit of common sense about signs for no parking and such does go a long way, after all look at how far apart speed limit signs are, after all if they are 1 mile apart are you only supposed to follow the limits when you can only see the signs?

here is the "STATE LAW" and also be advised that some Cities have created additional laws regarding towing issues and I could not find anything about Miami in a quick search (but that does not mean there are no additional laws)
