1. Taxi
A taxi is a vehicle used to transport passengers for payment, usually providing individual or small-group journeys between locations chosen by the passenger. Taxi services may operate from designated taxi stands, accept street hails or be booked by telephone or digital platform.
Taxis are commonly identified by special markings, roof signs, licence plates or local taxi permits. The licensing, fare and operating rules vary between countries and cities.
Can parking spaces be reserved for taxis in Belgium?
Yes. Belgian parking signage can indicate that a parking place is reserved specifically for taxis.
Can taxis use bus lanes in Belgium?
Yes. Under the current transitional rules, taxis may use Belgian bus lanes until 31 May 2027 even when the TAXI indication is not displayed. Under the normal signing system, taxis may use a bus lane when they are specifically authorised by the applicable sign or supplementary indication.
Can taxis use a special traversable reserved track in Belgium?
Yes, when specifically authorised. A taxi may use a special traversable reserved track when the TAXI indication is shown on the F18 sign or on a supplementary plate.
