You can take a blind curve at 15 miles an hour and not have time to avoid debris in the road.
Use some critical thinking.

extrapolating a little, 15mph is ~<10m
Speed | Thinking + braking distance | Stopping distance
20mph | 6m + 6m | 12m (40 feet)
30mph | 9m + 14m | 23m (75 feet)
40mph | 12m + 24m | 36m (118 feet)
50mph | 15m + 38m | 53m (174 feet)
60mph | 18m + 55m | 73m (240 feet)
70mph | 21m + 75m | 96m (315 feet)

note that the braking distances are not for modern cars with advancements in braking tech etc.
then 15 mph is probably too fast for that blind curve as it was not possible to see the danger.
it’s fairly simple logic.
At 15mph most cars should be able to stop on a dime, no?
