PassTaxi Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where taxis are not allowed to enter or operate. It may appear at the entrance to private or restricted areas, on lanes reserved for specific vehicle types (e.g. buses or cyclists), in residential zones, business districts, or tourist areas where taxi traffic is restricted, or on freeways or sections of roads not suitable or permitted for taxis.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit taxis from entering or using a particular section of road or area.
- Traffic management — reduces congestion caused by frequent stopping or loading.
- Safety concerns — applies where road design or conditions make it unsafe for taxis.
- Environmental control — limits vehicle emissions in pedestrian or eco-sensitive zones.
- Operational zoning — ensures only authorised vehicles use specific routes or areas.
