This section provides essential information for private hire vehicle (PHV) drivers in London regarding parking and driving regulations. Key points covered include: General Guidelines: PHVs are not allowed in bus lanes, taxi ranks, or on electric taxi charge points. Drivers must adhere to the Highway Code and understand their responsibilities. Stopping and Waiting: PHV drivers can pick up or drop off passengers in various areas but should avoid causing obstructions. Specific guidelines for stopping on red lines, yellow lines, loading areas, bus lanes, and parking bays. Drivers should minimize waiting times, especially in restricted zones, and not leave the engine running. Bus Lanes and Stops: PHVs can pick up or drop off passengers in most bus lanes but must enter and leave safely. Avoiding bus stop clearways and red route bus stops is crucial to prevent delays to buses. Taxi Ranks: PHVs are prohibited from using taxi ranks for parking, waiting, or picking up/dropping off passengers. Electric Taxi Charging Points: These are exclusive to electric taxis and cannot be used by PHVs. Violations may lead to fines and licensing actions. Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs): PCNs may be issued for parking and traffic violations, even without a physical notice on the windshield. Instances include illegal parking, driving in bus lanes, or blocking yellow box junctions. Congestion Charge: PHVs entering the Congestion Charge zone must pay unless exempt. Wheelchair-accessible PHVs may be exempt if designated by TfL. Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ): PHVs must meet ULEZ emissions standards or pay a daily charge. Wheelchair-accessible PHVs are generally exempt from the ULEZ charge. Red Routes: PHVs can pick up or drop off passengers on red routes but must not wait for passengers in restricted areas. Exceptions exist for brief stops at cashpoints between 22:00 and 06:00. Important Reminders: Drivers must never stop in pedestrian clearways, zig-zag lines, or places causing obstructions. Compliance with posted signs and time limits is crucial for safe and legal operations.
