What I mean by towing_penalty=yes is that it is POSSIBLE that you might get towed if you exceed the maxstay (or a semantic otherwise interpretable-from-the-tags).  What I mean by towing_penalty=no is that the particular "enforcement method" of getting towed to make you think twice about exceeding the maxstay isn't a chosen tool on this parking lot, and/or there is no sign so indicating.  (And as usual, if the tag is omitted, it isn't known to OSM, whether it is yes or no).

or_else=cargone did make me laugh out loud; thank you for that.
