Why did youi assume you could park after 6.30pm. when the sign right by your van has no times on it ? No days or times on a sign mean it applies 24x7.

I looked up the E zone timings prior to parking and assumed all spaces would have the same free parking after 6:30pm.

As I was in a hurry to reach a class, I didn't look at the sign.

Hello experts,

I mistakenly parked in a designated residents' or shared use parking space assuming it was free after 6:30pm. I assumed all E zone spaces were free to park in.

I was parked outside 18 Curzon street at this location where the van is:

Here is a photo of the resident permit holders only sign behind where I parked:
