What seems to be forgotten here is that a car or truck is much larger than either a bicycle or golf cart and weighs a heck of a lot more. Hitting someone with a car at even 10mph can cause severe injury or even the loss of a life.
The speed limit of 15 does seem slow if you've just had to slow down from driving at a faster speed on a road with higher limits, but there are no sidewalks, people have to walk in the streets, around service vehicles and might not see someone coming at them in a motor vehicle.
