Fines are set to given out from today for people in Falkirk who park on pavements, or at crossing points.
The local authority is enforcing new legislation.
It includes penalties for parking on pavements or dropped kerbs.
The fine is £100, reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days.
Similar fines are already in place in Stirling.
Warning notices have been issued over the last 18 months.
Council Leader Cecil Meiklejohn said:
"Our pavements are vital pathways for pedestrians, especially those with mobility challenges and visual impairments. It’s important motorists park considerately to ensure safe access for everyone.
“Last year we started issuing advisory notices to help people understand the change. But enforcement is now necessary to protect pedestrians and improve safety across our communities."
