Use your heads. When your in a busy ramp area, lots of nearby airplanes and traffic --- slower taxi speeds.
A long mile or 2 mile taxi on a long straightaway taxiway -- absolutely no problem in taxiing at 29 knots with a 737 with steel brakes. Unless your a/c has some sort of mandated taxi speed restriction, there is extremely little safety added to taxi at 8 knots versus 25 knots on a long 2 mile taxiway, after all, the plane goes way over 100 knots on the ground on take-off and landing. If you see me taxi by you at 29knots while you are at 18 knots slowing down after your landing .....too bad and I don't care. You had your primary instructors back in your Cessna 150 days drum "no faster than a fast walk" into your heads so much that you can't get past it and out of your head. Use your brain -- allow the situation to dicatate your speed.
