I think we broadly agree here! I think lower speed limits are an incentive to walk or cycle. Collisions at lower speeds are significantly less dangerous, and roads with lower speed limits feel a lot safer, too.
Lower speed limits are also not really a disincentive to drive, because they don’t make journey times much slower. And, of course, they make things safer for motorists, too.
I totally agree that you need to introduce whole packages of measures. Speed limits are an important measure, but not the only one, and not the most important.
