Sure, built up areas, fine, schools, fine, not a whole city though!
Speed does not cause accidents, it only determines the magnitude of an collision after it has occured the majority of accidents are caused by dangerous driving, because you can't quantify dangerous driving, and you can quantify speed, it's much easier to say that speed causes accidents, as that way it is easier to "solve" the problem.
The real solution is to improve driver skills and reactions.
