AFAIK you can only tow a bike from another bike.

Interestingly the highway code now merely says "In the event of a
breakdown, be aware that towing a vehicle on a tow rope is potentially
dangerous. You should consider professional recovery." *And nothing
else at all.

Crossing the road is also potentially dangerous.

A real danger is if a pedestrian steps over the rope as you set off at
a road junction. (not realising towing is in progress).
That's why you are required to attach a warning flag in the middle of
the rope. (Don't ask me to quote chapter and verse)
