From the Segway FAQ :
The Sidewalk Key (maximum speed of 8 mph and a medium turning rate), allows riders to adapt well in pedestrian environments.

I don't think anyone would set legislation about the speed of walking or running. However, you can use legislation against the Segway.

You have a legitimate argument here, sort of. I wouldn't want a runner coming at me at full sprint either. I could end up seriusly injured if a jogger was running and maybe I was running and we collided. The trouble is, I don't think you could find a politician who would sponsor a bill that would block people from running down a public road.
