It certainly has a significant effect if they are following the speed limit. Obviously they won't always be, but that is no reason to not have such a speed limit.
A driver who fails to yield while driving at 25 MPH has a near 0 chance of killing a pedestrian which they hit, while a driver who fails to yield at 45 MPH has a near 100% chance of killing a pedestrian which they hit.

Furthermore, both the driver and the pedestrian are substantially more likely to successfully avoid said collision should the car be traveling at 25 MPH vs 45 MPH.
