Rush Wickes <law@vatech.edu> said something like:
: On the approach road that connects Reagan National Airport to US 1 and
: Crystal City (with an overpass of the GW Parkway), there is a left
: turn light (facing traffic headed towards the airport)  with the sign
: below that reads 'empty taxis, no left turn'.   Can anyone explain why
: this sign is in place?

I believe that it's to prevent taxis from bypassing the Airport controlled
queueing areas. If a taxi is dropping of a fare, no problem. But there
would be no reason for an empty taxi to re-approach the terminal, except
to try and bypass the (sometimes long) waiting line.
