The preferred walking speed is the speed at which humans or other animals choose to walk. In the absence of significant external factors, many humans tend to walk at about 1.4 m/s (5.0 km/h; 3.1 mph). Although many humans are capable of walking at speeds upwards of 2.5 m/s (9.0 km/h; 5.6 mph), especially for short distances, humans typically choose not to. Individuals find slow or, especially, fast speeds uncomfortable.
