"We review the list every year to ensure the priority is correct and takes account of any changes that may have occurred."
Mr Devine said last financial year the focus was on Waimahanga Rd and Crawford Cres and this year it is Manse St and Lupton Ave in conjunction with the Kamo Shared Path.
He said about $100,000 has been allocated to traffic calming in the next financial year, which begins on July 1 2018.
After the Advocate story about a car crashing into Moana Saunders' car and shunting it into her garage on Kauika Rd, a Facebook comment revealed the same property was at the mercy of a speeding driver last year.
The comment on the Northern Advocate Facebook page was by a person who was the tenant in the house before Ms Saunders and had a similar experience.
"We were asleep one night & got woken up by a loud smash around about the same time of the morning. looked out the window and some moron had sped up 2nd ave and wiped out tryna turn onto Kauika, just missed our car in the driveway but smashed through the 4 brick letter boxes on the side of the driveway. (Sic)"
The comment went on to say the car skimmed the edge of the garage and ended up in the neighbours' fence, almost going into the house where a child was asleep.
The council has a slow streets policy which states a petition requesting a slow street is the best way to start the process. From there it is added to the list for consideration when the budgets are set for the coming year.
Priority is decided by safety issues, the number of people wanting the work done and the amount of funding available.
Once a street is selected, consideration is given to crashes, measured speed, the road's function and cyclist and pedestrian use to decide the best calming method.
The council uses a number of methods to reduce the speed of traffic on a street. They include: chicanes, speed humps, speed platforms, traffic islands, flush median strips and no-exit streets.
