The Impound Lot is both an indoor and outdoor garage yard where the Survivors emerge from the sewers and have to pass through the yard to get to the freeway in The Cemetery in Left 4 Dead 2.

History
This lot is where confiscated and damaged vehicles all over New Orleans and possibly Louisiana were brought. Between the New Orleans Parking Authority and New Orleans Police Department, they would have all kinds of vehicles towed here to this location at the owners' expense. Cars, trucks, and even vans would sit here for a period, allowing the owner of the vehicles time to plan out what they would like to do with their vehicles. If they chose to abandon the vehicle, it would be auctioned off during an auto auction day/period where the public can place bids and buy these vehicles for a fairly low price.

Current Status
It seemed that when the Survivors appeared, the lot was going to have an auto auction to sell some vehicles to the public as signs can be seen advertising it; however, judging by the several vehicles that were inside the yard, the auction was suspended until the Infection passed (which, so far, never did). When everyone was being evacuated out of New Orleans, the owners of the lot activated most of the car alarms to each vehicle to prevent looting and the public from stealing them. Apparently, a semitrailer blocks the road path to the impound lot forcing the Survivors up the maintenance ladder to the freeway.
