A total of 226 parking tickets have been handed out in the first eight months of enforcement on a Wellingborough road.
Signs warning drivers they are not permitted to park in Derek Hooton Way have now been installed.
The access road, only opened in August 2011 and features double yellow lines.
A spokesman for Wellingborough Council said: “Northamptonshire County Council is responsible for enforcing the parking restrictions in this area but has only recently started to do so.
“We have had a number of residents contact us who have been parking for some time on the yellow lines without getting a ticket so we contacted parking services and they confirmed that they are enforcing as is required by the official parking order.
“We recently ordered signs to make sure that everyone is aware that the order is now being enforced and to back up the yellow line painting.
“The borough council owns the land but the county council enforces official traffic orders so the intention was to try to help drivers who were considering parking in that area to prevent them getting a ticket.”
A spokesman for Northamptonshire County Council said: “We started enforcing Derek Hooton Way at the request of Wellingborough Council due to the amount of vehicles parking in the location.
“Enforcement started July 2016.
“So far 226 penalty charge notices have been issued in this location.”
