Question 569 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A blue rectangular sign with white border; at top a yellow roof sign reading taxi and Hebrew מונית, below a red circle with a red diagonal line on blue. Meaning: Cab rank; no stopping and parking of other vehicles, except for unloading passengers.
  1. Correct answer: Cab rank; no stopping and parking of other vehicles, except for unloading passengers.
  2. Pick-up stop; no stopping and parking of other vehicles.
  3. No stopping and parking for any vehicle within a distance of 20 meters.
  4. Route service station for special cabs and busses.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Cab rank; no stopping and parking of other vehicles, except for unloading passengers.

This sign marks a cab rank. The yellow taxi roof sign shows the spot is reserved for taxis, and the red circle with a diagonal line bans other vehicles from stopping and parking there. A vehicle that is not a taxi may stop only briefly to let passengers get out. The ban does not cover every vehicle, because taxis themselves may wait at the rank.
