Only those vehicles licensed as taxicabs by the Public Service Commission of the State of Maryland shall be deemed to be a taxicab within the meaning of this section. No vehicle, other than a taxicab, may stand at any time in those places set aside and designated by the Director of Transportation, to be occupied and used as public or private stands for taxicabs. But nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize any taxicab to stand in any place so designated during the hours when parking is prohibited at such location, except where such taxicab stands have been established at hotels. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, forfeit and pay a fine of not exceeding $10.

Spaces designated by the Director of Transportation as taxicab stands in front of hotels and other places may not be for the exclusive use of the person, firm, or corporation given the permit, but shall be open to any person operating a taxicab, who has equal rights to enter these spaces and secure or solicit patrons. Any person interfering with any taxicab operator in entering or standing in these places is guilty of a misdemeanor and, on conviction, is subject to a penalty of not more than $100 for each violation.
