Moi! I recently came across this sign near Niittykumpu and a little bit confused about what does "Taxi" means. Like a parking lot or a taxi park?
Kiitos!

Bus and taxi lane.
Busses and taxies can take that lane forward
Its bus lane, you should not drive on it unless turning to right in this case.
It’s a lane for buses and taxis. Note the sign of a bus. In this case you read it like “On this lane, only buses and taxis can go straight. This lane can be used by others to turn right. If you want to go straight and aren’t a bus or a taxi, pick one of the other lanes.”
Taxis can drive straigth
It’s a bus and taxi lane. They can drive straight. Other vehicles need to turn.
That’s a lane for taxis and buses only. Using that lane with anything other than those two vehicles results in a fine.
Unless you’re making a right turn, that lane is for taxis, buses and for some reason Nissan Qashqais that are driving 25 km/h under the speed limit.
I live outside of kehä 3, lane is lane
As it’s white sign, it does not forbid driving with regular vehicles. It’s only informational and means that “driving this lane will eventually end up to bus lane”. This lane ends to a bus stop right after this crossing if you look it up on Google Maps.

So long before Uber existed there was a service, where the driver would pick you up and drive to your destination for a price. It was called TAXI, and in some places you can still find it.
90% of comments are wrong.
White sign means a taxi/bus lane is about to start, you can still use that lane. A blue sign means it is already a taxi/bus lane, you can’t drive there.
