'Consultation important'
As well as the 50mph experiment on the A140, which links Ipswich in Suffolk with Norwich in Norfolk, speed limits of 30mph were also put in place through the Stonhams and Brockford Street and 40mph through Brome.
The council has said that the average number of casualties on the road has halved.
Guy McGregor, portfolio holder for roads and transport, said: "Almost everyone who uses this road has a view on the experimental speed limit.
"I hope people take the time to let us know what they think. Public consultation is an important part of the review and those who respond will have a significant impact on the decision that we make."
