B)Yes, but only to avoid being fined for speeding.
C)Yes, so that, in the event of being run over, the pedestrian has more chance of surviving.Correct
The speed limit in the city aims to protect the most vulnerable users, such as pedestrians. At 50 km/h, the probability that a pedestrian will survive being run over is significantly higher than at higher speeds. Reducing speed not only gives more reaction time to avoid the accident, but also drastically reduces the severity of injuries should it occur.
