Bad parking is being stamped out in Cradley Heath with a new red route banning parking and stopping at any time.
Vehicles will be prevented from parking on a mile-long stretch of Forge Lane, Lower High Street, Foxoak Street and Upper High Street.
The red lines will be put down overnight on Tuesday 2 May and the rules will come into force from Thursday 4 May.
The work is being done to prevent parking on the pavements and on narrow stretches of the road which causes problems for pedestrians and traffic.
The council has received multiple complaints about vehicles blocking pavements and preventing drivers from passing due to parked cars.
The scheme is costing approximately £4,000 and the lines are being put down between 7pm on Tuesday and 5am on Wednesday.
Old yellow lines will also be removed - the work may take a little longer if the weather is bad.
