Motorists who double park, or on the pavement or blocking dropped kerbs could be fined £105 under powers taken up by Swindon Borough Council.
Other councils across the country are already using the powers in Traffic Management Act brought in earlier this year and Swindon has started to use them this week.
Vehicles being used for loading and unloading, emergency services, waste collection, and roadworks will be exempt from the restrictions.
