If you want to avoid coming back to your car to find a dreaded parking ticket make sure you don't overstay your welcome on these roads.
Last year Bridgend County Borough Council collected more than £261,000 from thousands of parking tickets.
The most common reasons for parking wardens handing out fines were drivers not having valid pay and display tickets, parking on single or double yellow lines and parking in disabled bays without a permit.
Over the 2018/19 financial year 8,578 tickets were dished out, the equivalent of around 24 a day.
And those that have been paid so far the council made a grand total of £261,268.51 - or £732 a day.
