For-Hire Driver Examination

Study Material

OVERVIEW:

In 1979, King County, the City of Seattle, and the Port of Seattle embarked on a program to regionalize taxicab regulations and licensing by developing consistent

regulations and services across jurisdictions. This promoted public safety and customer service by standardizing fees, regulations, enforcement, and rate review

procedures through King County. The ordinance portion will test your knowledge of King County Code chapter 6.64

and Seattle Municipal Code chapter 6.310. The geography portion of the examination will test your knowledge of King County/City of Seattle and

surrounding areas. The test may include matching, multiple choice, true/false and audio questions. In order to pass the test, you must obtain a score of 80% or greater.

GEOGRAPHY

Eight Dividing Lines in the City of Seattle

First Avenue South - First Avenue South divides Avenues South from Avenues Southwest and also divides South Streets from Southwest Streets.

It travels from Yesler Way southward to the Pierce County Line in Federal Way.

Yesler Way - Yesler Way divides Avenues South from (non-directional) Avenues and also divides South Streets from (non-directional) Streets and

East Streets.

Denny Way- Denny Way divides Avenues from Avenues East, Avenues

North and Avenues West.

Eastlake, Melrose, & Broadway - Eastlake, Melrose and Broadway divides (non-directional) Streets from East Streets and also divides Avenues North from Avenues East.

Queen Anne Avenue - Queen Anne Avenue divides West Streets from (non-

directional) Streets and also Avenues West from Avenues North.

Lake Washington Ship Canal & Montlake Cut - The Ship Canal and the

Montlake Cut divides Northwest, North and Northeast Streets from West, (non-directional) Streets and East Streets and also divides Avenues

Northwest and Northeast from Avenues West and East. First Avenue Northwest - First Avenue Northwest divides Northwest

Streets from North Streets and also divides Avenues Northwest from Avenues North.

First Avenue Northeast - First Avenue Northeast divides North Streets from Northeast Streets and also Avenues North from Avenues Northeast.

Two Additional Dividing Lines in King County The numbering and street designation system that begins in the City of Seattle

continues outside the City limits into King County. Many cities in King County outside of the city limits of Seattle do have their own numbering systems, for example: Kent, Renton, Algona, Pacific, Kirkland, Bothell, Issaquah, Auburn, Mercer

Island, and Black Diamond. This is especially true in the older downtown sections of these cities.

Main Street in Bellevue - Main Street in Bellevue divides Avenues Northeast

from Avenues Southeast and divides Northeast Streets from Southeast

Streets.

100th Avenue Southeast (South King County) - This north/south line divides Avenues South from Avenues Southeast and divides South Streets from Southeast Streets.

STREET LAYOUT (AVENUES AND STREETS) & NUMBERING SYSTEM

To determine where an address is located, you need to know if the house number is Even or Odd and if the roadway runs North/South or East/West.

House Number The last two digits of the house number will help determine which side of the street an address is located. The house number is located before the roadway

name.

Example: 401 Fifth Avenue is Odd.

Example: 700 South Dearborn Street is Even.

Avenues Avenues run North and South. The directional designator is behind the roadway name. For example: 5th Avenue South, Westlake Avenue North, Aurora Avenue North, etc.

Example: 401 Terry Avenue is located on the West side of the roadway

Example:

3100 23rd Avenue South is located on the East side of the

roadway.

Streets Streets run East and West. The directional designator is in front of the roadway name. For example: East Mercer Street, South Jackson Street, Northeast 8th

Street, etc.

Example: 700 South Dearborn Street is located on the North side of the roadway.

Example: 1531 Northeast 100th Street is located on the South side of the

roadway.

If a roadway is not a Street or Avenue, but rather a Boulevard, Place, Lane, Road, Drive, or Way, the location of the directional designator will help identify if the

roadway is similar to an avenue or street.

Example: Holman Road Northwest is like an Avenue- It runs north/south because the directional designator “Northwest” is behind the roadway name, like it is with an Avenue.

Example: Northeast Northgate Way is like a Street – It runs east/west

because the direction designator is in front of the roadway name, like it is with a Street.
