Be you walking, running, carting or horsback riding you would be traveling at 3x speed. other games have it like this and it works great. The concept of "teleporting" along a road just sounds stupid to me, unless there's some sort of graphical treatment of the journey.
Carts and the like have also seen major improvements, we just don't know how yet. I think the primary concern was kiting for combat. Movement buffs get silly and even a 2% difference between players can mean absolute victory or absolute defeat.
