16 MPH is .. Likely not going to give you a problem.
However be aware of your surroundings.. I've seen "Wind Tunnel" locations where a 16 MPH "Breeze" can suddenly kick up to 50 MPH due to the layout of buildings and such.. IN fact I've been "Blown away" Literally when that happened. True store. I was walking on the windward sidewalk when I came out from beside the building into the "Wind Tunnel" area in Battle Creek. Suddenly I was in the middle of Capitol Ave. thankfully no cars I got blown half way across the road. (Capitol and the Michigan Ave (now a pedisterian mall, the mall is the wind tunnel).
That can surprise you if it happens. Capitol is still a vehicle road and I've driven my motor home through that intersection. But I know about the tunnel effect there.
