New figures have revealed the city's top parking fines hotspots - with Church Gate heading the list.
Figures show that 525 fines were issued in the city centre street between April 1 and December 16 this year.
During that period London Road came a close second with 513 tickets and Western Road in the West End third with 496 fines issued.
The statistics show that there were 28,558 tickets issued between April and December which brought in a revenue of £1.4 million.
A standard parking fine is £70 which is reduced to £35 if the fine is paid within 14 days.
Martin Fletcher, head of highways at Leicester city council, said he thought Church Gate was a hotspot because it featured a lot of different bays.
He said: "It is a fair length for a city centre street and has disabled bays, park and display bays and loading bays and double yellow lines.
"It is a major bus route and some bays are out of bounds to cars between certain hours.
"There is a lot for motorists to think about but they must ensure they read all the available instructions.
"It will always be clearly marked as to when and where people can park. They need to make sure they read and understand the restrictions which can change during the day as in the case of bus lanes."
Mr Fletcher said that many tickets issued on London Road were done so to drivers who fell foul of the bus lane restrictions which changed during the day.
He said: "In the case of Western Road I think there are people who get tickets due to the mix of park and displays bays and resident-only parking.
"Some people park there on football match days and get fines because they park where they should not. It is a similar situation with people who park there for easy access to the city centre whether it is to work or shop."
The figures show that 22,148 fines, which is 77 per cent of the total were issued between 8am until 6.30pm from Monday to Saturday.
There were 3,379 fines handed out (11.8 per cent of the total ) between 6.30pm and 8am from Monday to Saturday and 3,031 (10.6 per cent) handed out on Sundays.
Mr Fletcher said there were 22 full-time traffic wardens (now known as civil enforcement officers) covering the city's streets.
He said: "My advice to motorists is to take the time to be sure of the restrictions and not to exceed the time limit. If you don't know how long you are going to be then use a car park where you pay on return."
A council spokesman said: "Any surplus that we make from parking fines once the cost of the enforcement service is covered is invested back into travel concessions and bus subsidies."
