What is the purpose of the “available” indicator light on a taxi?
Traffic safety: Plates
Explanation
**Taxis** have a lighting system that includes a **free indicator light**. This light has the specific function of **indicating that the taxi is available for hire**. When this light is on, it means that the taxi is not occupied and is ready to pick up passengers.
It is important not to confuse this light with other vehicle lights, such as the turn signal lights or the hazard lights, which have completely different functions. The turn signal light, for example, is used to indicate turns or lane changes, while the hazard signal warns of problems with the vehicle.
Therefore, the purpose of the free indicator light on a taxi is clearly to show that the taxi is available for hire.
