Protect children who don't know any better than to run out into traffic? Sure, make traffic slow down to increase the chance of stopping before hitting a child.

Protect road workers who don't have any choice but to work next to speeding traffic? Sure, make traffic slow down to hopefully make drivers pay more attention to the road.

Protect grown adults who don't pay attention and walk down the middle of the street as if there was no traffic at all? Or those who ride bicycles as if they own the streets? Or those who just pay absolutely no attention at all to what they are doing? No safety is a shared responsibility for grown adults. As a driver I will do what I can to avoid you but it won't be my speed that causes you injury, it will be you, a grown adult, doing stupid things.
