What is a safe taxi speed?

I recently flew FR as BA simply couldn't touch their price for a weekend away to Dublin.

Their timekeeping was spot on both ways - in fact we landed 25 minutes early on the way home. This was a pleasant surprise from BA where I've always been late, albeit not hugely, on the last few sectors.

However, I was a little concerned FR were taxiing around DUB and STN at around 35/40mph (I have a GPS speed app). This felt very fast along taxi ways and was a big contrast from BA who always seem to do things a little more gently.

Are there restrictions on this kind of thing?
