I understand that there is a sizable swath of the urban populace who would rather cars didn't exist and all roads were traversed by cyclists and pedestrians alone.

I'm not sure how sizable the swath is, but for my part, I'm quite glad that cars exist. The issue isn't reserving roads for cyclists and pedestrians alone, but rather allowing cyclists and pedestrians meaningful access to roads at all.

One thing's for sure: If speed limits were set at 15 mph, the aggrieved sense of entitlement that seems to overcome every area driver as soon as they get behind a cyclist would be greatly diminished. How about "15 mph When Cyclists or Pedestrians Are Present" since we're all about finding a reasonable compromise.
