I have a '00 alize which had the same problem, I resolved the problem by removing the surrounding facia, and removing the needle (gently) wiping the speedo facia with a damp cloth and replacing the housing facia. I understand that over time, the speedo can drop very slightly causing it to stick, 30 and 60 mph are the areas on the dash that have bolts underneath that cause the speedo needle to get caught.
Hope this helps
