Dorset Council staff are prioritising tackling on-street advertising boards which are causing a risk to the public.
Councillors have been told that the authority does not have enough resources to tackle every area where business put the signs out on the street – occasionally causing problems for pedestrians and a risk to people with poor sight or mobility problems.
Existing A-board policies have been reviewed and are expected to be signed off soon.
The policy document is designed to ensure a uniformed approach around the county and to give staff guidance on the law and legal processes to remove errant signs.
Place and resources chairman Cllr Daryl Turner told a meeting on Thursday the council will prioritise problem A-boards which present the highest risk.
"The A-boards have been a pain in a lot of councillor's lives over the years and it's important we have proper specifications so we are not left with a lot of tatty little things stuck up all over the place, which we do see," said Cllr Turner.
