Just like with speed limits on the road, no one is going to be chasing after people going 25 kph, or likely even 30 kph. But around pedestrians, speeds like that are not safe. You cannot react quickly enough to unexpected reactions from pedestrians at 30+kph and I have enough experience dodging pedestrians when I'm running at much lower speeds to know to avoid them entirely when I'm on my road bike.
I don't think bringing over the flawed system of "no one obeys them anyway" speed limits is the answer here.
