We are a dutch company who makes taxi roofsigns. (http://www.taxibord.nl) We are very interested in the brittish market. We would like to know if there are government rules for a taxi roof sign. And where can I find them.

Thank you very much for your responds.

Each UK licensing authority (normally local councils) have their own rules, so basically there are 400+ variations throughout the country.

Some are fairly specific about size and what lettering etc can be on the roofsign, while others allow many different variations.

Some interesting designs - our signs tend to be a bit more oblong with little scope for much information on the side as opposed to the back and front.

The rest of the website is Double Dutch to me though :lol:
