Speed is the sum of distance divided by time (speed = distance / time). So if you were to decrease the distance traveled over the same period of time, this will decrease the speed. If either distance or time is increased or decreased, the speed will do the same. 

If we decrease the distance traveled over the same period of time, this will  decrease the speed

What is speed?

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed. It depends only on the magnitude of the moving object. The unit of speed is meter/second. The generally considered unit for speed is a meter per second.

The mathematical expression for speed is given by

speed = total distance /Total time

All speedometers I've ever seen do not distinguish between forwarding speed and reverse speed; if they were measuring velocity, they would. If you continued to travel at a consistent speed around a roundabout, their worth would similarly change. Since speed is a scalar quantity, its only attributes are magnitude and size. The vector quantity of velocity has both size and direction. Speedometers are scalar measuring instruments because they do not indicate a direction or sense.

Thus, If we decrease the distance traveled over the same period of time, this will decrease the speed
