Dunedin City Council is planning to keep existing speed limits around the city's schools in place, despite a directive from Government.

The report being considered at Wednesday's council meeting will recommend all but one school keep its 30km per hour speed limit - with the remaining school only increasing to 50km during non-peak hours.

The council has been asked to provide a list of speed limit reversals on 'specified roads' to the New Zealand Transport Agency by Thursday.

Dunedin City Councillor Jim O'Malley says these speed limits have been in place for a long time - and many in the community don't want them to change.

"We know that when another Government comes in, they'll want them back to where they were before, so it would pretty much be a futile waste of effort, to be honest."
