Goku was trying to get to Earth as fast he could. He should have done it in seconds. He didn’t. He took hours. Superman has said that he tries not to go above the speed of sound while flying through populated areas. Goku didn’t have to worry about anything like that while crossing Serpent Road.
You can’t blame everything on the plot. Not when the only time a Dragonball character was at light-speed or faster was due to a dub error.
