Question 349 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A white-bordered blue rectangle with a yellow taxi roof sign reading taxi and Hebrew text, above a red circle with a red slash, all crossed by a black diagonal stripe. Meaning: End of Taxi station (rank) designated area.
  1. Cab station. Entry to the street in which this sign is posted is prohibited.
  2. Start of cab station designated area.
  3. Correct answer: End of Taxi station (rank) designated area.
  4. Cab station. Stopping or parking of other vehicles is prohibited.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: End of Taxi station (rank) designated area.

A black diagonal stripe across a sign marks the end of whatever that sign imposed. Without the stripe, this sign marks a taxi rank where other vehicles may not stop or park. With the stripe, it shows where the rank's designated area ends, so that special restriction no longer applies beyond it.
