Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A device installed on the roof of a taxi cab, which can be lighted, and is used for identification purposes.
The roof-sign is a device mounted on top of the taxi, with lighting, so that pedestrians and other drivers can easily recognise the vehicle as a taxi, even after dark. Do not confuse it with the taxi meter, which sits inside the cab and calculates the fare, or with the tachograph, which records bus trip details on a disc.
