Is stopping permitted for a taxi to pick up or drop off passengers within the area of the sign ahead of you?

The correct answer: Yes, but only on an urban road and provided that there is no obstruction to traffic.

A taxi may stop to pick up or drop off passengers within the area of this sign, but only on an urban road and only if it does not obstruct traffic. The permission is not limited to night hours, and a bus stop sign does not create it.
