The sign was up a tree, the lines were wet, the machine printed nothing. None of it matters.

Can I appeal a parking fine if the sign was hidden?
Often yes. Unclear, obscured, or missing signage is a common and legitimate ground for appeal. Photograph the sign, the spot, and the obstruction, and submit them with your challenge.
Is there a grace period on parking tickets?
In many places there is a short grace period after your time expires, often around ten minutes for council parking. It varies by location, so check the local rules where you parked.
What are my chances of winning a parking appeal?
Better than the system wants you to think, especially with photo evidence of bad signage, a faulty machine, or a missed grace period. The first auto-rejection is rarely the end of the road.
