  § 407-111. Taxicab Stands.  

Latest version.

  • The director shall be authorized to establish such taxicab stands in the congested district as will serve the best interests of the public and such authority and direction shall include the establishment of taxicab stands in front of fire plugs as the need of the public may require. If the director determines that the public convenience and necessity require the establishment of a taxicab stand outside of the congested district, he may establish such stand for a period of 60 days or until such time, prior to 60 days that a public hearing is held. If at such a hearing the director determines that the public convenience and necessity requires the continuance of such stand, the director shall order that it be made a taxicab stand indefinitely. Such taxicab stands shall be designated by a sign or signs indicating that they are taxicab stands. Such stands shall be reserved exclusively for the parking of taxicabs while awaiting passengers for hire. The driver of a taxicab shall remain on or beside the taxicab when parked upon a taxicab stand. The driver of a taxicab which is engaged shall not occupy a place on a taxicab stand with such vehicle.

    The director may order that certain taxicab stands be names restricted stands and post signs indicating that the stand is restricted and the drivers are required to remain in their cabs at all times.

    The director is hereby authorized to establish and designate "layover stands" in which a taxicab may be parked and left unattended for a period not exceeding one hour.

    No person shall park a taxicab anywhere in the congested district except on a designated taxicab stand or as otherwise permitted in Section 508-22, or occupy any taxicab stand during hours when occupancy thereof is prohibited. In the event that more cabs attempt to occupy a stand than the designated capacity of that stand, the cab at the front, or at the rear, or the cabs in both front and rear positions, shall be deemed in violation.
