Question 1263 in the bank

Is it permitted for a vehicle other than a taxi to load passengers within the limits of the following road sign?

Yellow rectangle with black frame; at top a taxi roof-sign shape reading "taxi" and Hebrew text, below a red-bordered blue circle with a red diagonal stripe.
  1. Correct answer: No. The sign marks a place in which only taxi-passenger loading and unloading is permitted.
  2. Yes. The sign marks a place in which passenger loading and unloading is permitted for taxis and rouse service buses.
  3. Yes. The sign marks a place in which only taxis are permitted to unload passengers.
  4. No. The sign marks a place in which all other vehicles are permitted to load and unload passengers.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No. The sign marks a place in which only taxi-passenger loading and unloading is permitted.

This sign marks a place reserved for taxis only, so they can load and unload their passengers. Any other vehicle, including a bus on a service route, may not use this spot to pick up or drop off passengers. The restriction applies every day, not only on certain days.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Bus (D).
