by the traffic authority and/or the board/agency designated with the supervision and
control of a specific piece of property, or shall be found parking in violation of
any of the provisions of any resolution, rule or regulation of the traffic authority,
such vehicle may be removed or conveyed by or under the direction of a member of the
