Councillor Damian Corfield, cabinet member for highways, signed off the latest phase of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) after a consultation period which began in January.
The orders were made in response to complaints to the authority from a range of organisations and individuals.
The document confirming the new restrictions said: “Residents, councillors, MPs and council departments have raised concerns regarding parked vehicles causing visibility problems at junctions, safety issues for pedestrians (including around schools), perceived inconsiderate parking in residential areas, unsuitable vehicle movements and some existing restrictions which need removing or altering to reflect current circumstances across the borough.”
Field Lane in Stourbridge is set to get a new 'no stopping' zone at the entrance of Oldswinford Primary school. It will be in effect from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
The junction of Stratford Close and Aintree Way in Dudley will get a prohibition of waiting zone. In Mount Pleasant, Quarry Bank, the afternoon no loading or waiting restriction near the primary school will start at 2.30pm instead of 4.30pm.
There will be a no parking zone in Olive Lane, Halesowen, and also between Ashenhurst Road and Geston Road in Dudley.
In Halesowen there will be a change to waiting restrictions near the junction of Newfield Lane and Furnace Lane where stopping will now be prohibited Monday to Saturday from 8am to 5pm.
Waiting will also be banned along one side of Newfield Lane and on the same side on a section of Newfield Crescent.
The council is imposing a ban on waiting at the junction of Milking Bank and Shugborough Drive in Dudley and on one side of a section of Wollaston Road in Stourbridge near Coalbournbrook Bridge.
Also in Stourbridge, Grange Lane will see no waiting and loading only between 7am and 7pm at junctions with New Farm Road, Fieldfare Road and Shepherds Brook Road.
There will also be a number of changes to disabled parking bays throughout the borough as a result of the new orders.
