Information and service signs

Taxi rank

Marks a place reserved for taxis to wait for passengers.

The sign identifies a taxi waiting area. Road markings, arrows or additional panels may show the extent of the rank.

Signs commonly use the word Taxi or a taxi pictogram. In France, C5 reserves stopping and parking for taxis in service, with road markings defining the reserved area.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
