Speed limits on Otago Peninsula roads will be the subject of the next Dunedin City Council speed limit review, after passionate arguments about road safety problems in the area in May.
The next review is not due until 2013, but speed limit bylaw hearings committee chairwoman Cr Kate Wilson said a report had been ordered to see why the process was "so long and costly", and if it could be done any earlier.
A hearing committee of Crs Wilson, Neil Collins and Teresa Stevenson has been dealing with the issue, which, under legislation, must go through a public consultation process after publication and due time for a response.
The council this week signed off on the review, which led to changes on 12 roads, with Townleys, Reservoir, and Boundary Rs, Mt Grand and School Rds on the Taieri staying as they were.
