I don’t think it’s “always” that, or even “usually” that. Given what we know about a person’s ability to survive impact with a car traveling at different speeds, we’re not trying very hard to keep streets safe by setting speed limits of 50kph on residential streets.
We should be trying to make city streets less hostile to everyone, particularly vulnerable users, and particularly children, who are not always gifted with your common sense.
