Are arbitrary speed limits the right way to manage speed on active transport paths?

Last year cyclists copped fines over $400 for exceeding a ridiculously low 10km/hr speed limit on the Kurilpa Bridge in Brisbane. After a public campaign partly stirred by yours truly, the Queensland Government conducted a review and have raised the speed limit on the bridge to 20km/hr.
But it raised the question - are speed limits even necessary on active transport paths? Should we enforce speed on bicycles and e-scooters the same way as we do motor vehicles? Or do we need to pay more attention to the very different weight and kinetic energy characteristics of the relative vehicles?
CORRECTION: In the video I said at 40kph there was a 60% chance of a pedestrian dying in a crash with a car. It's a 60% chance of surviving. Still, the point stands, 40kph in school zones is homicidal.
Повторяем попытку...
