Dear PePiPoo members

I received a PCN from Redbridge last night on George Lane E18 under contravention code 45 "Stopped in a taxi rank"

PCN rear - click here

As you can see, there were no road markings advising the bay was allocated to Taxis:
Bay location where I was parked

When I arrived at the location around 7pm, I found the signage on the lamp post was confusing. It refers to "No Stopping from 6.30pm - Midnight" which suggested to me that I cannot park there. But the sign directly below it states that parking enforcement ends at 6:30pm. Given that I intended to park (not stop) I took it to read that I could park without the need to pay - see signage - Conflicting Signpost - click here

When I returned to the vehicle at 9pm I was shocked to see I had been issued a PCN stating I had "stopped in a tax rank". I hunted around for signs advising of such but I could not see any. Eventually, and only after an extended period of looking around and re-examining the signage repeatedly, did I notice something high up on the lamp post:
Click here for image. Unfortunately this sign is over 12 feet in the air and is completely illegible to the naked eye from the ground. Even using the most technologically advanced zoom on my Samsung S20 Ultra phone, the text is completely unreadable. Even now, at time of writing, I am unaware of what it states.

Surely this signage is incredibly confusing and inadequate? I would not have parked there if the signage was clearer.

What is my defense here?

There is none really, the sign is saying no stopping 6:30 pm till 8:30 am except for taxis. Between those hours it changes to a taxi rank.
