Traffic cones have also been placed on pavements to stop motorists from parking
Double yellow lines are being added to the roadside to prevent illegal parking at beauty spots in Snowdonia.
A pre-booked parking system is also being trialled this weekend in a bid to deter tourists turning up to Pen-y-Pass car park near Snowdon.
Traffic enforcement officers have ticketed hundreds of cars this summer.
Others have been towed for parking on the side of the A5 in August, prompting highways officials to paint yellow lines at Ogwen Valley.
Traffic Wales said it had to "keep road users safe".
More than 180 cars were fined for illegal parking in Snowdonia in one day in July
"Wherever you are visiting this weekend please do so responsibly," North Wales Police.
The region has seen a big increase in the visitors since coronavirus lockdown restrictions were eased.
