The preferred walking speed is the speed at which humans or animals choose to walk. For humans, it varies more by culture and available visual feedback than by body type, typically falling between 1.10 metres per second (4.0 km/h; 2.5 mph; 3.6 ft/s) and 1.65 metres per second (5.9 km/h; 3.7 mph; 5.4 ft/s).
