May a private car drive in a lane reserved by road markings with the inscription 'TAXI'?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is no, only taxis may drive there (and buses if indicated). The inscription 'TAXI' on the road surface marks a reserved lane exclusively for these public service vehicles to ensure their speed and efficiency. Important details: General Prohibition: Private cars cannot drive, stop, or park in these lanes. Broken Line Exception: If the lane is separated by a broken (dashed) line, other drivers may enter it only to prepare for a maneuver (usually turning right), but never to stop, park, overtake, or make a U-turn. Priority must always be given to taxis and buses. Traffic Jams: Heavy traffic does not authorize you to use this lane to bypass congestion; doing so is a traffic violation.
