Can I appeal after I was found guilty and paid the fine?

I was found guilty for failing to stop at a newly erected stop sign. I paid the fine and after rechecking the officer's note in the disclosure
I received, he wrote I was going westbound by mistake, I was going eastbound when he ticketed me.
Also the bottom of the stop sign is 1.2 meters from the road level and not 1.5 meters as per regulation 615.
Do I have a chance to an appeal?

Failing to stop at a new erected stop sign

I failed to stop at a new erected stop sign. I go through this intersection almost every day as it's so close to my house.
The sign was erected two days before I got the ticket. In 29 years driving I have no tickets.
The stop sign is not erected as per "R.R.O. 1990 Regulation 615 Signs" which says :
"A stop Sign shall be erected so that the bottom edge is not less than 1.5 meters and not more than 2.5 meters above the level of the roadway"
The bottom edge of this stop sign is 1.2 meters above the roadway level.
Is it worth to fight the ticket?
