"I do not want to live in a world where my car is artificially limited to 15mph in a 15 zone."

15 - 20mph is a pretty significant speed limit. At that speed a car - pedestrian collision is highly unlikely to be fatal. Much faster and the chances of a fatality increase quickly.

I would really like to see 20mph speed limits become much more common and strictly enforced. There's no reason we need to risk killing people just to get someplace faster.

There's a difference between saying we should have speed limits and forcing cars to follow the limit. That's like having your computer checking the hash for every image it renders in case you're trying to view something illegal. It just opens itself up to a lot of abuse.

More crosswalks, and enforcement of their use, could also reduce the risk to pedestrians. There is room for give and take here. Trying to retroactively enforce 20mph limits on fast roads is pretty silly, just design the damn roads better and it wouldn't be necessary.

Safer road design is a big part of Vision Zero.
