All I'll say to this is that on foot is primarily walking.
Will you come across some runners sure, but get out there and count them. You'll be suprised at how outnumbered they are compared to walkers.
But you live in your little circle where you scream at the government going this is BS, because some pedestrians run these rules are wrong. Ignoring the vast vast vast majority that are walking and slow, sometimes elderly and wobble on thier feet, sometimes pushing a pram or herding little kids, let me speed past them as fast as I can.
And regarding the bikeways, they've said there is provision to increase speed limits on some ways these will be updated and you won't have to do 10km/h on them.
Your arguments are the exact argument that motorists that ride cyclists off the road use. You are litterally in the same camp as them, I wanna go as fast as I want and no ~~cyclist~~ pedestrian is gonna get in my way. Stop fearmongering and share the footpaths.
