agree  Azhar Zafar

neutral  Qudsia Lone: It seems that many here don't know what the term actually means so an explanation in Urdu seems necessary. Transliteration can go in brackets. This seems more of a British term as Americans are more accustomed to the term "impound"

گاڑی کھینچ کر لائے جانے والے احاطہ میں لے جائی گئی


Explanation:


جب اردو میں مفہوم آسانی سے واضح ہوجائے تو پھر بلاوجہ اسے ٹرانسلیٹریٹ کرنا ہرگز مناسب نہیں

اسی طرح ضروری نہیں کہ آپ سر ف احاطہ ا کا لفظ ہی استعمال کریں
یارڈ دراصل اس خاص جگہ یا مقام کو کہتے ہیں جہاں کوئی خاص کام کرنا
درکار ہو جیسے
Lumberyard , are scrap yard etcetera
لہذا آپ احاطہ کی جگہ ورکشاپ کا لفظ بھی استعمال کرسکتے ہیں
اسی طرح صحن اور برامدہ کا لفظ بھی استعمال کیا جا سکتا

neutral  Qudsia Lone: You are thinking of parking lots; a tow yard is an impound. I've left the comment neutral because the translation is partially accurate, though the explanation and translated sentence are incorrect.

احاطہء ضبطی، ضبطی احاطہ، احاطہ برائے ضبطی


Explanation:
Sample translation:
گاڑی کو ضبطی احاطے میں پہنچا دیا گیا۔

A tow yard or an impound is where cars that are parked illegally or are no longer drive-able (e.g. after an accident) are taken. The owner has to go pay a fine to get their vehicle back.

agree  Samira Khalid: And, perhaps also transliterate it in the brackets, to make it easier for people who aren't familiar with this term.

ٹاؤ یارڈ


Explanation:
Even if we prefer it to transliterate, it should be "ٹاؤ یارڈ" to avoid confusion with common word "two".
