What is the maximum idling time allowed for an FHV in a 'No Standing' Zone?

In a 'No Standing' Zone, the regulations are designed to minimize congestion and improve traffic flow, which is crucial in busy areas. The maximum idling time allowed for a For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) in these zones is set at 3 minutes. This limitation ensures that vehicles do not remain stationary with their engines running for an excessive amount of time, which can contribute to air pollution and unnecessary traffic buildup.

The 3-minute idling rule strikes a balance that allows drivers some reasonable amount of time to wait while still maintaining the flow of traffic and adhering to environmental standards. It’s important for drivers to be aware of such regulations to avoid potential fines and to operate their vehicles responsibly in crowded urban areas.
