1) Passenger and Driver status for two+ people vechicles: The first person to move the vechicle is designated "Driver" - everyone else becomes a "Passenger" - People with the passenger title, can then work on some small projects while the driver takes them elsewhere. In reality, if you were sitting down while someone was driving, you could be working on a tool or something. Perhaps it should be in the game?
2) Grouping. I'm sure this has been suggested or thought of, but, never hurts to suggest twice. Have people group when each other, so when they travel by foot, they go the same speed as the slowest person - they all arrive at the location at the same time, and then break company each time they reach a destination. "You see person1, person2, and person3 arrive at place together from that yellow road"
3) Projects while walking. It's possible to read while walking... of course, it's DANGEROUS to do that, but even still. Perhaps if you were to work on a tool, you'd be forced to go only 50% of your maximum speed, just to be cautious while moving? Of course, if #1 is put it, this penalty wouldn't be needed while being a passenger or a vechicle.
4) An auto-logging feature in your inventory, perhaps as a map. It would mark down locations you've been at, and you have the ability to add comments to each place on the map. Would cut down a bit on all those maps on the ground, maybe.
5) Shoe type clothing should increase speed. No more stones jabbing in your soles, sand and ashfault burning your feet, etc.
6) Mind Altering Foods (What does this have to do with travelling?) - Perhaps there should be Coffee Beans, make you nice a peppy, to increase walking from location to location only temporary (Maybe for about 5% total, increase speed)
7) Er.... can't think of anymore.
Any comments, suggestions, additions, critism - post it!
