NAC706.501. Taximeters: Design; lights.

     1. Electronic meters must have all phases of the “LED” or “LCD” digits working properly.

     2. The face of the taximeter must be of sufficient transparency that the fare recording device can be read by passengers and must be free of any obstruction. All meters purchased after January 1, 1989, must have the numerals displayed in a color which can be read from outside the taxicab.

     3. Every certificate holder shall equip its taxicabs with one or more amber lights on top of the taxicab which are plainly visible. These lights must connect to a contact switch attached to the taximeter and must automatically illuminate when the taximeter is not in operation. These lights must operate independently from the cruising lights and are considered as part of the meter.

     4. Every electronic taximeter must be connected to an amber light located in the rear window of the taxicab and the light must be visible through all windows of the taxicab. This light must be visible during the daylight from a distance of 100 feet. The light must automatically illuminate when the taximeter is not in operation and is considered part of the meter.
