§ 82-94. Soliciting passengers on streets—Generally.

It shall be unlawful for any person owning or operating one or more vehicles for hire in the city to operate such motor vehicles over and upon the streets of the city for the purpose of soliciting patronage, picking up passengers or delivering passengers at any point within 100 feet of any intersecting street corner along such street. It is the purpose and intent of this section to prohibit such practice within 100 feet in all directions from such intersections. The distance in all cases shall be measured from the center of the intersection. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the driver of any taxi or vehicle operated for hire from responding to any specific request for passage from any person seeking the services offered by such taxi or motor vehicle or from stopping at any point within the city for the purpose of delivering a passenger who has been picked up at any part of the city in a manner not prohibited by law.
