A short shopping street in Perth is the most-ticketed street in Courier Country, we can reveal.
More than 1,300 penalty notices have been handed out in the last year on George Street, which measures just 170 metres.
Parking wardens handed out eight tickets for every metre of road last year, netting almost £82,000 for the council purse.
Local traders have said they are not surprised by the figures and are calling for the council to review parking attendant training, claiming many do not use their discretion.
George Street, which is on the edge of the city centre, boasts just 23 spaces for ordinary motorists plus five disabled spots, two motorcycle spaces, three large loading bays and a bus stop.
Drivers are charged 50p for just 20 minutes of parking and must fork out £1.50 if they intend to stay the maximum permitted time of an hour.
The second-highest number of tickets in Courier Country was handed out on the Fair City’s South Street.
The road, which runs through the city centre, saw 1,355 motorists hit with fines meaning almost two tickets per metre were dished out.
However, Douglas Street in Dunfermline came out as the second most dangerous street for parking in Courier Country, as 325 tickets were handed out on its 61-metre length, a rate of more than five tickets per metre.
In Dundee, South Tay Street came out top with 777 tickets issued more than four per metre.
In Angus, where on-street parking is enforced by the police, Montrose High Street claimed the number one spot with 297 fines (0.85 per metre).
A spokeswoman for the council said fines were only issued in their car parks, which are free, when drivers breached the conditions of use.
However, not a single street in the Angus top 10 features on the list of the 10 most-ticketed streets in Courier Country.
Business owners on George Street, Perth, claim that wardens in the area are ”over-zealous”.
Billy Penicuik of James McEwan Funeral Services, which has had its hearse and limo ticketed a total of four times this year, said disabled bays and a bus stop outside their premises could cause problems for their business.
”There needs to be a bit of discretion,” he said. ”When we are bringing ashes you don’t want to have to park 100 yards down the road and carry them in full view you want to do it discreetly.”
Another woman, who did not want to be named, said: ”The council should be looking into the parking wardens and how they conduct themselves.
”They should review the parking on George Street.”
She added that the wardens, as well as a recent parking price hike, were putting many people off parking in the area.
A spokesman for the AA said one reason why more tickets are handed out on George Street than anywhere else could be because parking in Perth is controlled by the council, rather than the police.
He said: ”Local authorities have been raising parking charges and enforcing the rules more strictly than police forces because they are allowed to keep the revenue.
”This is a good way to overcome some of the cuts imposed by central government.”
A spokeswoman for Perth and Kinross Council said: ”The council will issue penalty charge notices only where it is necessary to do so and in accordance with the traffic regulations as they apply to individual streets.
”Our parking attendants have a key role to play in keeping traffic moving as much as possible and will check vehicles to ensure each displays a valid ticket.”
She added that varying time limits and other parking restrictions may have an effect on the number of people receiving tickets.
The figures were released under Freedom of Information laws.
