If this is not possible then seating should be provided at the rank.</p><p>Ranks should be sited so that passengers board or alight from the taxi onto the footway on the nearside of the vehicle. Ramps and steps should only be used for access and egress via the nearside passenger door. Where taxi ranks are arranged on the offside of the road, a pickup and drop off point nearby on the opposite side should be identified for wheelchair passengers.</p><p>The footway should have a minimum unobstructed width of 4040mm, to allow for the full extension of the wheelchair ramps to 1620mm and to provide for the full turning circle of an outdoor electric wheelchair, which is 2400mm.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3> <a href="/ccm/services/pid.jsp?pid=786"> Providing Information (786) </a></h3>
