Yes. A normal police box doesn't have a time-travel machine inside. The TARDIS, of course, is a fictitious device. With respect to the outside look, according to the story it is designed to look like a police box, that were common at the time the series started; this was apparently done so as a disguise.

What is the TARDIS's phone number from the british tv show Dr. Who?
Origingally, the TARDIS, while being a police box, didn't actually have a phone that works. The phone in the little box at the front, behind the sign that says Police Telephone For Free Use of Public Advice and Intelligence Obtainable Immediately Officers and Cars Respond to Urgent Calls Pull to Open doesn't actually work. It isn't connected to anything. We do see it ring in the episode the Empty Child, and the Doctor (Nine, at this point) is entirely shocked, because it isn't a phone. However in the redesigned TARDIS in Series 5, it now has a working phone on the inside. The Doctor receives a phone call on it from Winston Churchill. However the number itself is not known. It rings again in Series 7, 'The Bells of St John' - the phone is in fact the titular bell, close to the TARDIS' St Johns Ambulance logo.

Why is Doctor Who's TARDIS blue?
In the very first story aired on 22 November 1963 the Tardis is on earth. Its chameleon circuit is burned out. The circuit made the TARDIS look like any other building or property from the time and space it landed in so disguising it from others. When the circuit was repaired the BBC decided to keep the shape of the police box so viewers could see it as it was (the cost of building new sets to make it look different in each episode was the main decision driver. The Police Box seen is an authentic representation of a police box used at the time in the UK.
