Driving in the city at more than **50 kilometers per hour** poses a significant danger, especially in the event of hitting a pedestrian. At lower speeds, such as those recommended within urban areas, a pedestrian has a better chance of surviving if struck. This is because the impact is less severe and the driver has more time to react to unforeseen events.

- **Speed limits**: In cities, the speed limit is generally 50 km/h or less, depending on the type of street. For example, on streets without curbs or with only one lane per direction, the limits are even lower, such as 20 km/h or 30 km/h, respectively. This is done to minimize the risk of serious accidents.

- **Reaction to unforeseen events**: At higher speeds, it is more difficult to quickly react to unexpected situations, which increases the risk of making mistakes that can be fatal.

- **Tunnel vision**: Driving fast reduces the ability to see what is happening on the sides, limiting peripheral vision and increasing the risk of not detecting pedestrians or other obstacles in time.


For these reasons, it is crucial to respect speed limits in urban areas to ensure the safety of everyone, especially pedestrians.
