Why do trailer and RV parks have speed limits lower than neighborhoods with ordinary houses and apartments?

Question

Neighborhoods with ordinary houses and apartments might have speed limits of like 20, 25 or 30 miles per hour, but neighborhoods with mobile home trailers and RVs normally have speed limits of five, 10, maybe 15 miles per hour. So why does it have to be lower for those neighborhoods than neighborhoods of ordinary residences?

Also, a lot of the ones with the very lowest speed limits have dirt or gravel roads. They’re trying to prevent a giant cloud of dust and dirt becoming airborne every time someone drives through

These 2 reasons people/kids walking and dust are why especially out west.

Add to this that a small car stops much quicker than a full size truck towing a big trailer.

Because the owners of the RV parks don’t want you to speed through their private property. The second reason is there are lots of people other than you, children and other things going on. If you want faster speed limits, perhaps camp on the side of the road.

Dust. The higher than average number of people- especially children- running around. How else will you creep on other's setups without looking like a creep... you can play Jr off as looking for your site.

I'll say it. Because rv owners are notorious dipshits.
