Taxi ranks usually have yellow bays marked with the word "TAXIS". Where the bay is used for other purposes (e.g. loading and unloading) at a different time of day, the bay will be white without any words. Either waiting or stopping will be prohibited within a taxi rank. Where stopping is prohibited, the bay includes a broad continuous yellow line at the edge of the carriageway. Where waiting is prohibited in taxi ranks, yellow "no waiting" lines are provided where waiting is also prohibited at other times, or where the bay marking is white because it has shared use. Yellow upright signs show the times when waiting or stopping is prohibited in the rank.
No waiting in taxi rank during the times shown
No stopping in taxi rank during the times shown. The bay includes a broad continuous line to indicate the prohibition of stopping
Waiting is prohibited at all times (indicated by double yellow lines). The taxi rank operates from 11 pm to 5 am every day
The taxi rank operates every day between 10 am and 4 pm. Waiting is otherwise prohibited from 8 am to 6 pm every day, and loading is prohibited during the morning and evening peak hours from Monday to Friday
The sign shows the times when the bay is used as a taxi rank (overnight) and when it is used for loading by goods vehicles (during the day from Monday to Saturday). At other times there are no restrictions on parking. The single yellow line is replaced by a broad yellow line if stopping by other vehicles is prohibited during the times the bay is used by taxis. This will be indicated in the upper panel of the sign, where the "no waiting" symbol is replaced by the red cross and the words "No waiting" varied to "No stopping".
