    See here for the full thread but I am wondering if I have grounds to appeal a Fixed Charge Notice for parking in a taxi rank. I have a number of issues
    1. The area I parked in was marked with TAXI on the road however there was no supporting sign post (RUS 020). The pole that the sign should have been placed on is in situ, however the sign is absent, see here.
      36. (1) Save as otherwise provided for in these Regulations and subject to article 5, a vehicle shall not be parked on a public road at a location, in a manner or for a purpose referred to in this article.
      (2) A vehicle shall not be parked—
      ( e ) on a section of roadway where traffic sign number RUS 020, in association with RRM 029 [appointed stand], has been placed to indicate that an appointed stand has been provided;

    2. A taxi stand terminal points should be indicated by double broken markings consisting of 600mm lines and 600mm gaps perpendicular to the kerb. This is not the case, see here.
      TAXI STAND (RRM 029)
      7.6.13 A Taxi Stand is indicated by the markings to RRM 029 shown below. The lines forming the taxi stand shall be white and 100mm wide. The wording ‘TAXIS’ shall appear at least once in each stand, repeated at intervals of not more than 4m, and shall be parallel to the kerb and facing towards the centre of the roadway. The terminal points of the taxi stand shall be indicated by double broken markings consisting of 600mm lines and 600mm gaps perpendicular to the kerb.
