I think you are restricting the use of "inappropriate" to the safety aspects.
I live in a house which fronts directly onto a main road, and the bedroom
is at the front of the house. A car at 45mph is quite a lot louder than one
at 30mph - and it really p***** me off when the gentle drift into sleep
gets rudely aborted by some inconsiderate oaf who drives through fast 
because "there is nobody about."
