What does the E23 'Taxi Stand (End Limit)' sign actually mean?

Can I stop or park my car near the E23 sign?

You should not stop or park in the taxi stand area itself if you are not a taxi. The E23 sign marks the end of this restriction. However, you must still obey general parking and stopping rules; ensure you are not blocking traffic or creating a hazard.
