The council says it will now investigate pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow in the city's central business district.
Mayor Vicki Jellie said the council was seeking feedback from Warrnambool residents and visitors about their experiences driving and walking in the city.
"In particular we're interested to see how the pedestrian priority roundabouts are performing," she said.
"We want to know how people feel about traffic in the city centre and we'll also look at traffic engineering data including average vehicle speeds, traffic numbers, accident data and so on.
"We want to ensure that the traffic management we have in place is suitable, safe and will serve us well in years to come."
The controversial crossings have divided residents since their installation.
In 2018 city businesswoman and now city councillor Angie Paspaliaris presented a petition to the council with more than 5800 signatures calling for their removal.
She said the introduction of pedestrian crossings at the Liebig/Lava and Liebig/Koroit street roundabouts were causing confusion, danger and major congestion.
"The way that they work is not pedestrian friendly," she said.
"Nearly 6000 people have said they don't like them. On paper things look good sometimes, but in real life it can be dangerous."

The crossings came back into the spotlight in February, when motorist Gavan Nevill labelled the crossings one of the "worst decisions" of the former council.
Mr Nevill said the pedestrians crossings were touted as being a trial.
"In my opinion, the trial has failed," he said.
Cr Jellie said there was plenty of online discussion and opinion about city centre traffic.
"We need to understand whether the views that we see online are widely held and also how perception measures up against reality," she said.
"Putting pedestrians first at a number of key CBD roundabouts was a significant step for Warrnambool to take.
"There was a commitment made to review their effectiveness after two years of operation so this work will go towards delivering on that commitment."
