Taxi Rank And Parking Bay
Taxi ranks usually have yellow bays marked with the word ‘TAXIS’. Where the bay is used as a parking or loading bay at a different time of day, a white bay without any words is provided. Either waiting or stopping will be prohibited within a taxi rank. Where stopping is prohibited, the taxi rank includes a broad continuous yellow line at the edge of the carriageway. Yellow ‘no waiting’ lines are provided within a yellow taxi rank where waiting is also prohibited at other times. Yellow upright signs show the times when waiting or stopping is prohibited in the rank.
The taxi rank operates overnight (11 pm to 5 am) on each day of the week, during which time stopping by other vehicles is prohibited. The rank is used as a parking bay between 9 am and 6 pm with waiting limited to 20 minutes. There are no restrictions on parking outside these times.
