Why do cab drivers put the car in Park at red lights and then in Drive when the light turns green? My friend says that it's because it somehow makes the meter run up faster than if they just kept their foot on the brake.

I have seen a couple of drivers doin this and it made absolutely 0 sense to me just more work. As to what your friend says about making the meter run up faster, at least in vegas, it is absolutely not true. Meters in a Las Vegas cab run by time if the cab is going less than 8mph and it is set by time it goes up 20 cents like every 30 seconds or so whatever equalls up to $30/hr. I myself dont do this and don't know why anyone would.

I read that it is illegal for cab drivers to pick up fares on the strip except at cab lines. Is this current and correct?

yes it is they will write you multiple tickets for it actually one for impeding traffic and another for loading passengers outside the rotation of a cab stand its pretty rediculous
