Hotel
Taxi Stands
The Department
of Parking & Traffic (DPT) has begun enforcing restrictions at hotel
white zones. Parking in white zones is restricted to five minutes for
purposes of picking up or dropping off. Taxis as well as limousines
will be ticketed for white zone violations.
A number of hotels have established taxi zones where it is legal for
cabs to wait for passengers. But the taxi zone curbs are painted white
and many are unmarked by signs, so there is no way to distinguish them
from white zones.
DPT says it is going to restore taxi zone signage, and an effort is
underway to have the curbs painted in white, green and yellow stripes,
the official designation of taxi zones.
DPT has provided the following list of hotel taxi stands. It may not
be completely up-to-date as it was compiled several years ago.
