WOLLATON Street, Park Row and North Sherwood Street are pretty handy parking places if popping into the city.
But nearly 4,000 people were stung with parking tickets last year on these three streets.
They were the streets that saw the most tickets handed out last year, according to new figures.
The tickets were among the 59,169 issued by Nottingham City Council in 2012, bringing in £1,647,150.
In the rest of the county, 31,383 tickets were handed out. The top streets included Chilwell Road, in Beeston, Gordon Road, in West Bridgford, and Carlton Hill, in Carlton.
The revelation that both city and county councils have brought in more than £7,000 a day from parking fines angered drivers who spoke to the Post.
Housewife Leanne Squires said it wasn't fair for the councils to be making so much from fines.
The 31-year-old, of Kirk Lane, Ruddington, said: "It seems like a lot of money for the council to be bringing in when there can't be many people who break the rules on purpose.
"Usually it's just people getting caught who have only stayed a bit over, or little things like that, and then they get a fine."
Graeme North, 57, of Hucknall, said: "I don't see why they can't use a bit more discretion sometimes. I would argue that they shouldn't be ticketing anyone if they aren't causing a problem, but I would say that, as I've been fined before.
"I think people just want fairness really and not have the idea that wardens are hiding round corners waiting to pounce. I think Nottingham is probably worse for that than anywhere else I've been."
The figures suggest this is the case when comparing them with our neighbours.
Nottingham City and Notts County councils handed out 90,552 tickets last year, compared with 72,810 in Leicester and Leicestershire, and 44,784 in Derby and Derbyshire in 2011, the latest figures available.
There are two types of fine: for offences such as overstaying in a limited waiting area, the notice amount is £50, although this is reduced to £25 if paid within 14 days; and for more serious offences, such as parking on double yellow lines, the amount is £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days.
Des Storey, team leader in parking enforcement at the city council, said: "It's hard to remain popular when you're handing out fines but many people don't appreciate that without parking enforcement, the traffic in Nottingham simply wouldn't flow as well as it does."
And parking enforcement manager James Clancy said: "Instead of the stereotypical 'ticket first and ask questions later', officers will, wherever possible and safe to do so, look to engage and advise a driver of other parking options."
A city council spokesman said: "It's very hard to compare Nottingham and Leicester on a like-for-like basis simply because they have a similar population figure.
"The configuration of the city centres are different and there are always going to be different permissions and parking contraventions."
A spokesman for Notts County Council said: "The purpose of parking enforcement is not to raise money for councils.
"All the money raised from penalty charge notices is used to pay for the costs of providing the service.
"Once these costs are met, by law any money left over must be spent on improving local transport for everyone.
"This could include better parking facilities, improved public transport or more facilities for pedestrians and cyclists."
