-
Hackney Carriage Ranks should be located within 50m to 100m of the facility being served.
-
If this is not possible, then advisory signage will be installed to direct customers to the adjacent Hackney Carriage Rank.
-
Ranks should be sited so that passengers board or alight from the taxi onto the footway on the nearside of the vehicle.
-
Ramps and steps should only be used for access and egress via the nearside passenger door.
-
Where taxi ranks are arranged on the offside of the road, a pickup and drop off point nearby on the opposite side should be identified for wheelchair passengers.
