Default Taxi speed

Hi,

What is the normal and maximum taxi speed (in knots) for an RJ, 737, and 747
in normal operations?


As an airline passenger, I typically see ~ 15 MPH (~ 12.5 knots) on my
handheld GPS, with the occasional 20 MPH leg on a long, straight
taxiway. In my Spam can, the GPS groundspeed typically shows ~ 10-12
knots on the high end.
