This ignores some basic physics.
Pedestrians stepping in front of slow moving Mack trucks will always loose. Do we now say all trucks must only travel at 30km/hr or less??
There are times when speed is not only desirable, but safer (eg. aviation...go too slow, you stall & die)
Training drivers to be aware of when speed or lack thereof is appropriate would seem a better alternative....as despite draconian regulation in Oz...we bury all too many road users.
