I'm guessing there isn't one. Or they're exempt. Otherwise how can a black
cab stop halfway across a signalled junction in the middle of the road, on
a
corner, on double red lines in central london, blocking the traffic behind
to
pick up a passenger and some plods in a van nearby do absolutely bugger
all?

B2003


Double red lines? What are they?



They signify "No Stopping" on London's designated "Red Routes".

But not for taxis.

As should be obvious.
