Parents stopping on double yellow lines or parking dangerously outside schools in North East Lincolnshire are being warned they will be targeted by new CCTV cameras.
The equipment will be installed outside schools following complaints about incidents at several sites during drop-off and pick-up times.
Police officers have had even had to be called on a number of occasions in a bid to calm tensions between local residents and to manage protests.
At the Cleethorpes Academy, wheelie bins were used to block the street last year to highlight parents parking over driveways in the summer.
Councillor Ron Shepherd, from North East Lincolnshire Council, has told BBC Radio Humberside: "We have the ability to use rapid deployment cameras in key areas to capture evidence of those individuals who are parking in a dangerous position.
"If you continually break the rules, you will get a fixed penalty notice. So don't come moaning that you've had a fine through the post because you park your car dangerously."
