Kaylem Rayne Webb-Hirst (16) and Michael Shelford Mauheni (17) died when the vehicle in which they were passengers crashed and caught fire at the intersection of TY Duncan and Shortland Rds on June 12.
Chevrons and advance warning signs of an approaching T-intersection were installed by the Waitaki District Council several months ago, after first being proposed by Mr Kircher.
In August, the Otago Daily Times reported council roading manager Mike Harrison told councillors at a meeting earlier that month nothing at the intersection had been identified as requiring immediate attention by the council, but the council was working with police and the coroner on the next steps and those measures at least were likely to be recommended.
Mr Kircher said last week he "was not aware" of any plans for additional signs or other safety measures and was comfortable what had already been implemented was enough, given there were "hundreds of such intersections in the district".
"This one has had issues in the past — not all of which have been reported, unfortunately — and then there was the tragic crash there. It was an obvious one ... that we could do, that we needed to do and that the public were wanting to have done."
Also in August, the ODT reported former Houhora police officer Chris Yarnton was concerned about the absence of signs at the intersection.
Shortly after the fatal crash, Shortland Rd resident Brent Mulligan said speeding vehicles were a common sight in the north Oamaru road.
In October, the driver of the vehicle, Joseph 'Amanaki Lelei Fisiitoi Siale (18), of Auckland, was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated careless driving under the influence causing death.
After a brief appearance before the registrar on October 16 he was remanded on bail for a second appearance in Oamaru on November 13.
However, he has yet to appear.
