    There’s a section of a multi-use path in my city that has a limit of 15kph (k not m), right need a parking lot with poor visibility. It even has one of those radar shame signs. Not unreasonable all things considered but it does seem kinda slow.

      Yeah, 15kph seems unreasonably slow, and I think my kids ride about that fast. Maybe 20kph is better? I usually slow to 15-20kph anyway when there isn’t enough room to give others more than a meter of space when I pass.

      So yeah, in kph, I think the regular stretches should be around 30kph, and maybe 20kph around parks and parking areas since there are likely unattended young children and pets around. I can stop very quickly at 20kph.
